Juan's got rocks in his head these days!
Juan has been putting in a hard couple weeks of rock work on our new addition...it is very slow going...first he goes and hand picks pretty rock with
flat faces, dumps em and spreads em all around our place...then like putting a big puzzle together he chooses and places the rocks so they look
pretty...very time consuming as you have to do the same process outside AND inside too.
But its' looking real nice...this week we got the door and window frames in thanks to mr.redmesa's technical assistance...good thing nobody wants to
go fishing these days...we have worked out a nice schedule of rock work till 2, then race to the beach for a swim and relaxing in the sand for a
couple hours....ahhhh....baja

Tell Juan that he needs some re-bar in there someplace to stand up to those "Asunsion tremors" we all have heard of.  (looks like some sticking up from the corners, alright)
It is going to be beautiful-----------fun, fun.

oh yeah, dont worry...we REMEMBER those shakes rattles n rolls and have thick rebar in the corners and other stragecis spots....that is why we are now
building with rock....it gives and doesnt crack like cement blocks...not one problem with any of the rock walls we built...so it passed the
test....another neat thing is you dont have to do anything inside...no drywall, no painting and no worries about damage by some drunk guy...rock
solid.

Looking really good. I'll bet Juan is looking forward to a fishing trip day to relax.
What we see depends mainly on what we look for.

Excellent rock work. Just hope you don't have any spray painters around. Is Jaun available for hire?

spraypainters wouldnt dare come near our place with all our loud dogs and guard cats!...rock work is very slow and meticulous to get it to look
nice...ya wouldnt want to pay somebody to do it....would get expensive.

I want to go fishing!!!!
But I'll settle for whale petting at the end of February.

The wall looks great!! I'd love to have the time to do that in such a great place. You're lucky folks, and I know you have made your luck with a lot
of hard work. Bravo!

Shari - wow love the rock wall. It is like a work of art picking out all those pieces and making them all work together both on the inside and out.
Good job Juan.

This is my first place in Punta Chivato. The work is definitely not as nice as what Juan does. But it is gone now The new owners put stucco over it when they remodeled. Originally the contractor built a block building and then broke
each rock to face the out side. Different rock for the bulkhead but also split each rock. Sure glad I didn't loose these pics.
