When I was a young boy, my Dad would always say after a big job involving lots of manual labor “It’s only the tail of the beast left”.  In just 7 short days the crew of Casa Yucatan Construction have managed to tear down both of the old structures with the help of some heavy machinery.  Now that most of it’s gone, you get a good sense of just how enormous our new casa is going to be.

 

This week I received an email out of the blue.  It seems than we have neighbors that shortly will be developing the property on the other side of our south wall.  Here we thought that this was an old abandoned property, only to find out that this American family (Texas) have owned this property for seven long years, just waiting for the opportunity to bring this property back to life as well.

We’ve finalized arrangements for our next trip down, we’ll be heading down midway through November and coming back before Christmas.  In Merida they have their big Black Friday Sales on at that time so it wii be good to get in on the savings.  It will be especially nice to be there just before Christmas as they decorate the whole city with lights, particularly the huge main drag on Paseo de Montejo.  Kudos to the whole Casa Yucatan Construction gang – great job, we hope you remembered to save those front doors from Unit B.
