New Casa Pics
Hi Nomads,
Wanted to share with you some pictures of our new casa being built just south of Todos Santos in BCS. Many of you have provided me invaluable
information during this process and I want to thank all of you. It isn't completed yet but close.

Thanks Sallysouth, as a matter of fact we are in the process of looking for a caretaker. We do have someone in mind and might possibly build a bodega
with a caretaker unit over it in the back of the lot.
You know I do not know the name of the tree posts...anyone know? It was $ upgrade when I saw another casa with these along with the woven palo de arco
shade structure.

Nice big windows. How many panels are in the main slider (fixed glass versus sliding glass)? Are they aluminum? Are they from La paz?
I've seen the name of those vine-covered trunk posts in one of my foofy Mexico home design books but I can't remember what they're called. I'm sure
they weren't cheap since they're imported from the jungles of the mainland. But they are gorgeous and you won't have to sand and varnish like you
would palm posts!
Do you have town power (electricity)?
Can I come over and sit in your bathtub?

They ARE palm posts, they come from mountainous areas on the mainland where a killer vine wraps around a live palm & leeches the life out of it.
I can't remember the name, but I had some for shade roof columns at my second casa. They do attract termites & they're typically peeled, sanded,
termite-proofed & varnished (additional cost, on top of the purchase cost). They do add a unique flavor to the casa, but they also require
ongoing maintenance. The ones I bought here in La Paz 3-4 years ago were about $200 each....and mine didn't have the girth pacside's do.

Pacside: Your home is very gorgeous! Is that a real bathtub? And what kind of flooring is that? Looks like a solid surface in the picture.

Oladulce-yea I wanted big windows but now I need big window treatments. That slider you see in main living area I think has 4 panels with all of them
sliding to the right with the last one being fixed. So it does have that indoor/outdoor feeling when all are open. There is a screen though for only
one of the panels being open, but it does appear that there is a place to put more screens if I want, although not sure about that. They are aluminum
and I do not know where my builder got them...probably La Paz. I can find out for you.
I still do not know the name of those funky tree trunks. I do know they were varnished but was not aware of the maintenance....good to know.
Electricity vs. solar is still up in the air.
 uh sure you can sit in my bathtub

Russ,
Thanks....floor plan was drawn by my builder with my input. I will try to scan in the plan and post it. Basically, it is a 2 br/2 bath 1600 sf of
living area space. I wanted it pretty simple and open. The bedrooms are on the north and south side of the casa.
