About Us

My photo
We are both retired. Built a house near a beach in Mexico to spend the winter away from the cold and snow. Have another home in Washington on the Pend Oreille River where we spend the summer. We divide our time between the two homes.

Moved to the Property




We moved to the property so we are now in the 
 middle of all the construction.














I couldn't resist and climbed to the roof of the motor home to see what our view would be like. 




This is the view looking west.

This is the view looking South.  This view will be much better from the house as the motor home is parked to the far side of the lot and the view we will have will be from the opposite side.













It is amazing how little tools the workers use.  Colored string tied to rebar is how they level everything!  The Maestro marks with a colored pencil along the string for different placements of castello or whatever else they need to mark.







 They are taking the forms off the dala.  Notice the shoes and balance of the worker.




Electric lines placed in the dala before they pour the cement by hand.





Our first load of house brick.










The first coat of plaster.










This is how they support the corner castellos before they pour the cement by hand.



















The house has been started.
