If you look closely at Picture #2, you’ll see the approved safety shoes of the workers on our project, thankfully Yucatan Construction is looking after the Worker’s Compensation payments.  More pictures to follow soon.

I really can’t believe that it’s been four months since my last posting.  I said that I would update the site when we’ve received our Building Permit.  But that still hasn’t happened.  As of today we’re #10 in line for approval and we’re being told another 3 to 4 weeks so who knows.

On a positive note, they’ve just started to clear off our two lots – all the overgrown trees, bushes and termite hills are being removed to make way for the excavation and masonry/foundation work which will be the next step.  Our understanding is that our contractor will be sending us pictures every Friday, so what they’ve sent us so far is four shots of a somewhat cleared lot and some pretty ugly walls.  These walls will all be replaced new with new ones walls that are likely to be some 20’ high.

We’ve all but finalized our casa designs with INAH (they control the design components in the Colonial area of Merida) but we continue to tweek things to add just a little Mexican flair.  It won’t be long now that I’ll provide some regular updates on this build, so stay tuned and we appreciate all of you who will follow us on this road.

Stay tuned, more pictures to follow next Friday.  Hopefully.
