Yes, another month has passed and we seem to be getting closer than ever to a finished project.  The second floor in the main house is nearing completion.  The roof joist and block have been put into position and the final cement pour is due to happen by week’s end.  Thank god for those regular Friday pictures from Casa Yucatan Construction.  Deborah and I wait anxiously every Friday for those emails to arrive from the Construction office.  I’ve included below all the shots from our last batch.

Plans are still on schedule for a trip to Merida in late April or early May to do some tile pics and paint colors – so we’re getting closer with each passing Friday.  I spoke with the contractor today and he’s indicated that he’ll be starting the tile work in the Casitas by early next week.  I have to say that we are lucky as hell to have a good friend like Bob Phippard help oversee our project – We can’t think what the hell we would have done without Senior Roberto.  He makes regular calls to me each week if he sees anything of question.  Both he and his lovely wife Denice live just around the corner in their fantastic Hacienda home, so Bob regularly takes a walk through our build just to make sure that every thing is on target with the plans and if not, co-ordinates with Casa Yucatan to make it right.  We’ll be indebted to Bob forever to help us make this our forever home.  Thanks for following the Casa Amigos build on my blog and Facebook, it’s really appreciated.
