30 Days and Counting To Move In Day

I am starting the Blog with a photo from the past .............

Just A Dream

 and here we are 1 year later and only 30 days into the renovations of Casa Sencillo Paraiso

So...........No trabajo hoy.........No work today , as it is our first day to reflect on how far we have come and to really rest our mucho mucho cansado ( very very tired ) BODIES .   This past week we have put the rafters in the kitchen which now gives us a second floor loft space looking out the back of the property into the jungle.........amazing views and the perfect spot to lounge and watch the monkeys and birds..........Oh , on Friday we had a tamandua ( lesser anteater ) cross the back of the property and as usual no camera............also Luis came with the doors made for the 2 bedrooms and an awesome vertically split door ( 2 doors ) for the cucina ( kitchen ).........so beautiful that we have decided to use conch shells as the door knobs with only a simple hook and eye to latch the doors closed..........You are probably thinking we need a lock for those bedroom doors and to secure the kitchen.........Not to  worry.............tomorrow Alex is installing a gate system across the dining which consists of 2 stationary panels mounted at each side of the opening to the dining room and attached to each panel are 2 bi-fold panels...........we hope this works .

We went to the Deposito on Tuesday in Golfito via Memo ( Amigo with a truck )  to purchase our refrigerator , pots and pans , kitchen utensils along with knives ( haven't started eating with our fingers and toes YET ) , sheets , along with 2 fans and no trip is complete without a stop to the liquor dispensory and when you can get duty free prices you better go for it .  So............

Me a Refrigerator and a Cerveza

What an adventure and a wonderful ride home from Golfito with beer in hand Sherry and Memo with room up front .  The blanco foam I am lounging on........well it will soon be our cushions for our L-shaped sofas . 

Attaching few more photos of the progress we have made to the house.....

The renovations to our Casa are amazing and to be truthful.......MUCHO TRABAJO and MOY TRABAJO.......MUCH WORK and MORE WORK then we had planned........still our life here is muy contento..........it feels as though the beat of our hearts are in rhythm with our life...........Tranquillo  here on Playa Zancudo .

We have just about 2 weeks of MONEY left for wages before we say adios to our amigos Roy and Victor who have been so awesome with their skills of construction.......Costa Rican style........there are so many stories of how this Casa has come together and we cannot wait to share them with you , but ......... I need to close as tomorrow will bring MUCHO TRABAJO and a few Cervezas to kill the aching body.............YES it is worth it .

 
Pura Vida .
