Week 36: Time moves slowly
Isn't amazing how HGTV never explains to us that; the magnificent edifices they construct in one show, may take regular individuals months at a time?Where's the disclaimer HG?
With the Staircase now in place, we are ready to move to the next level. Slowly but surely as we go.
With the beginning of a new week, comes an unanticipated high. This week we got the pleasure of beginning my Brother's second floor. Not being inspired by the view below, I decided to ascend the scaffolding and take a look from atop.
The view was breathtaking to say the least. Personally, I think the Home-Builder can experience no greater joy than seeing their dwelling take shape before their eyes. As my brother's home begins to loom over my "Pool House" I am filled with an innate sense of pride as I am constantly reminded that 2010 is our year. As things begin to unfold here as we watch the rocks become a structure and then a complete edifice. This is a view of what my brother's home will look like by Christmas 2010.I encourage all of my readers to occasionally meander over to the Sandy Slipper, as things unfolds there for the Bahamas on a grander scale!!Salud,
So, we’re back in stride for January. You know how it goes in the Bahamas, had to take some time off
for the festive Christmas/Holiday. But now things are back in full stride.
As a big comparison from the previous post, walls are up, electrical roughing is in, the plumber has put in his drainage.
FULL STEAM AHEAD. Definitely learned a lot from being on the site, but I’ll save some of that for the next post.
STAY TUNED!!!
Well this week i'm super siked. In 9 days we were able to pull off some real HGTV SHIT. Look at the chronicle of the pictures. From laying out the foundation, to having the dump truck come in and dump two hefty loads of fill, to pack the foundation. This was when i was like ,"damn this is alot of work". But having a good team of friends, made time fly!!
So after the fill, we began by laying out the blocks for the kitchen, then back wall, and as you see the entire building wall is up!! Does HGTV do shows in the Bahamas??? Hmmm, lol!!!!
This week involved some more back breaking, digging and excavation in order to prepare my brothers foundation for the tractors.
But after a hard days work on Sunday we got a refreshing surprise.
One of the trees nestled deep in the back of the yard was a fruit bearing Banana tree.
This discovery was made by David, one of the close family friends who decided to be the 1st sampler.
This is a similar representation of what my brother's home will look like, with the dormer style windows.
This week, was a monumental one. My brother began construction on his home, which is located directly in front of me.
Imagine two story Mansion with my home being the Pool house, LMAO!!Its been awhile , since I last posted. To say my life was busy is an understatement, two business trips, a huge promotional event i planned (www.shredday.com) and a few minor setbacks.
But we are back on track. Above you can see that most of the house is done in terms of masonry work.
