About Us

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.

Update--floors, electric and walls

 The past several days we have had rain so the construction has come to a stand still.  But, here are some updates.

One of the windows that will be placed along side the stairs.  Eventually it will have glass and a screen in the center.



The pouring of the floor is all done by hand.


Leveling and smoothing is done with a metal bar.















The floor is approximately 4 inches thick.








The center support beam has been poured and will have to set for several days.





The electric and plumbing is cut into the brick and then will be plastered over. 







Again nothing fancy with the ladder. 
 















Notice the balancing of the boards on the scaffolding.


 The back of the house with the ventaler blocks.  No exhaust fans.
 The bodega was started but for some reason not finished yet. 




The front wall got a little taller than planed because we wanted to match the existing wall on the street side.  The wall still needs the top dala and final coat of stucco.
