More Pictures!

I leave for Canada on Monday, and I´ll be gone for 2 weeks. I thought I would post some new pictures before I leave, because I won´t be updating the house pictures until I get back.

This week they have made some great progress, and if all things go well, there is a small chance I could be coming home to a finished house on the 19th. That is, if electricty, water, windows, roof and tile floor all get done.

I´m optimistic!!

The top of the wall with the arched windows is finished, and they are started the stucco on the wall! It looks alot less prison-like eh?

Another shot of the half stucco-ed walls

The front of the house, which eventually will be inside the house in phase 2... I´ll post the plan eventually so you can see what I mean.


Another picture of the wall they just finished. I think the windows look fantastic!

Inside, our nice concrete floor, half stucco walls, and the beginnings of a roof!

The path of our sewage pipes towards the septic pit...

Another shot of the arched windows, plus the view outside!

Looking out the west window towards Joel and Stephanie´s Casita!

Looking out the East window towards....grass.

Literally the grass is as high as the window! I would complain to the neighbours, but we don´t have any!

Our sewage pipes coming out the backside of the bathroom.

The bathroom still looks like a jail cell.

I have high hopes that will change by the time I get back.

Sergio, David´s step-father, built these to make the arched windows.

We have to save them because phase 2 brings 5 more arched windows exactly like the ones we have now.

Sergio, David´s step-father, and Chico, David´s brother are heping us build the roof.

David also had help from two of the boys from the orphanage.

The septic pit. Future home of our sewage!

Stephanie and Joel´s Casita!

David is clearly very happy!
