Marinero....Trust me, you have just begun. You will be under construction for the next 30 years.. just like the rest of us.

Pomp! If I were sure I had that 30 years, I would sit quietly and smile.

It is exciting, isn't it Marinero.
But I'll spare you the photos of chalk lines on a vacant lot amongst lava rocks and stickers, or shots of a fresh block wall, intricately tied rebar,
or a newly poured roof. I discovered that photos of a construction project are sort of like baby pictures- to the parents they're the most beautiful
things in the world. Share them with others, and eyes can start to glaze over.
Me, I like construction photos, especially when accompanied by some "After" shots to show the owner's vision. Hope you'll show us some more.

Thanks for the tip on construction photos being like baby pictures. That one escaped me on my own. Since you asked, here is another. I chose it
because is shows what the local crews can do almost exclusively by hand. The happy exception is the concrete vibrator.
We will be down shortly to see the project. I will take my own pictures and try to get some of the "after" feeling, although it still may be a bit
soon fro that.

Construction time capsule....
Marinero....keep taking those daily or weekly time shots. You will cherish them later on. Good luck with the building and read your 'God and Mr.
Gomez' with a smile.
Here are two BEFORE and AFTER photos.
First one is 1976...and the one on my following post was taken about a month ago...Feb. 2006.
Thirty years span.
They really are like baby pics, aren't they?......Well, now.... I just happen to have snapshots of every square inch of all the various building
projects....here, let me get out my wallet and show you....just a sec... hey....HEY!...come back!...where ya going!!
Sigh.....

Pomp: Spend a little time futzing around the casa did you? Did the palapa leave by design or by force of wind?
Thanks for sharing.

Marinero....I am always wishing I was FISHING!
It seems that things never last anymore. That palapa was there since I built it in.....? well, a long, long time ago.
Many chubascos and a 'few' fireplace spark showers..well, a lot, then... did the old hut in over the years. (I am known for my pyrotechnic displays
in the round patio firepit...some nervous nellies say downright dangerous. I like to think of it as a howizter.)
It finally got so ragged looking it was embarrassing. The only things that ever used it anymore were the termites. But I liked it anyway...it had
great sentimental value.
So down it came one fine day! My wife and Manuel decided to tear it down when I was in town one morning, but I came back early and found this...!
Palapa predators!

Looks like the Airstream might have been his casa. Did he thank you for the privacy wall?

Our entire construction crew
Do they always post a guard or are they worried it might blow away?
