went to visit playa frambes while down the past 2 semanas...........man, what a spot and the progress is amazing for the so far short build time,
IMHO.
tell you what........
they paved the streets of mulege last 2 days.
a mex big wig in with his turbine twin thurs wants the El Galilto strip paved soon and has the clout to do it.
and, DJ is about to get a push on his fuel license due to a certain so and so.
and its all about the new malecon plans for the town as well as the future of santispac and the bay.
once the power runs south, and its coming now sooner than later, Playa Frambes becomes Playa del Oro!!

Nice chunk O' land you have there B&S!! What workers, Capt? And Gato, I gotta read everything you post just to see your avatar!! Hilarious!Packoderm - 4-29-2007 at 02:58 PM
Why is the property to the right have such white soil? Did they add sand, or did you add dark soil? I remember you saying that you are building up the
soil in order to elevate it for some kind of flooding reasons. Could a person add sand to the beach to cover up the rocks? Is this doable, or would
the tides and waves just wash it away? Are you going to add tiles to those cement roofs? If so, why did you put cement up on the roof? The place looks
like it is going to be really nice when it's finished. I look forward to every update on the progress. I guess I'm living vicariously through you guys
in your blog. You're living my dream. Good luck.DENNIS - 4-29-2007 at 03:04 PM
Yeah ..........What is that? It looks like salt flats.Bob and Susan - 4-29-2007 at 03:36 PM
hey thanks...
that white stuff is soil form a nearby quarry...
the guy next door wants to sell his lots and cleaned the place up a little with a 3" layer of soil
that stuff is like concrete later
the "real" soil is like a clay
we'll get some sand delivered to cover the beach in front of the casitas...later
the roof tiles are red and burned black and have been ordered from Mexicali...
Sr. Mayoral from Mulege is picking them up in Mexcali and hauling them down...
I talked to him yesterday
we will have 3 two bedroom units for rent...
we'll live in the fourth
the fifth place is our kitchen
remember susan DOES NOT cook!!!
the big tall "thing" is a replica lighthouse...
you'll be able to stay there too...
bottom floor is a bathroom
second floor a small bed
third floor a sitting room
then ... the top!!!

when am i NOT in the doghouse???Phil S - 4-30-2007 at 07:33 AM
Bob. What will be the protection for the swimming pool of the "moving sand" that occurs there some of the time on a Northerly.?? Great project. I
think I will want to stay in the lighthouse. Probably will be very popular with your 'younger' travelers. Definitely will be "finding" your project
on our way south in October. HOpefully your highway sign will be "UP" by then.Bob and Susan - 4-30-2007 at 11:28 AM
no hurry for a sign...
lots of traffic without one for now...
the swimmimg pool is only protected by the casitas on both sides
sand is just a part of life when living on-the-beach or
in the garage
NO ONE swims i the winter...too cold
even with a heater
