Update

So I´m back in Nicaragua, and the house is looking great. There haven´t been any BIG physical changes since I left, but a lot has been done! I don´t have pictures of it all, so I´ll tell you what´s been done!
  • electricty (outlets, lights, light switches) has been finished inside the house, all we need to do now is hook it up to the source.
  • plumbing is finished inside the house, it just needs to be hooked up to the well (which means we need to buy a pump) and to the septic tank.
  • the stucco is finished inside and out.
  • All of our iron bar windows are finished (see photo below), they just have to be painted and installed!
  • Bathroom floor was finished with concrete yesterday, and today they are going to start putting on the tile!! (We can´t put in our toilet or sink until the bars are on the windows...)
  • We found the floor tile we are going to put down in the rest of the house, and we can afford it!! Its on sale right now so we will be getting it for about %40 off!

I think thats about it! Once these things are finished we should be able to move in!

Our windows. The bars will stop potential thieves from getting in. Hopefully! We will have the same sort of thing on the doors as well.


Light fixtures!! They are attached to the roof right now becuase we don´t have a ceiling. Once we put the ceiling in the light fixtures will be dropped down to that level. The light switch that is hanging there will be in a wall that will seperate the two rooms.

Out fuse box. Clearly the part above needs to be filled in with cement.

The finished stucco. Once its painted it will look fantastic!
