...And while the doors and windows aren't yet 'fully fitted' they are atleast (for the most part) on site and looking good. The 'plunge pool' continues to 'grow' with the infinity edge basin in place and one can see once finished, with the landscape architecture we have designed, its going to look stunning, really hanging over the jungle canopy.
Back in the Jungle Villa itself - The stucco is almost complete with the walls looking beautiful. Both the door and window contractors are on site, working hard to try and get everything finished, sealed and installed by the weekend. The idea with the 10 teak and bamboo panels is that they cross-over (sliding on rails) really opening-up the open-plan living area.
My own countdown has started...just over a week until I am back in site for the last couple of weeks!
Have a great weekend and thanks to you all for following our progress over recent weeks both here on te blog and on our new Facebook page!
Pura Vida!

| Reportage - The two 'foremen' a few weeks back when the bamboo roof first started... |
 |
| The rich textures of the guadua (locally sourced from a bamboo plantation nearby) |
 |
| Fearless workers, climbing, clambering, hanging - obviously not a hard-hat in sight! |
 |
| Back before the roof was on and the 'oven-roasted' bamboo lay in a pile in the sunchine |
 |
| More reportage coverage, back before the roof was complete. The little metal shack in the middle is where the team live throughout the construction... |
 |
| Billy Josue and his carpenters arrange the sliding panels for the open-plan living area |
 |
| The last layer of block is paid, bringing the plunge-pool edge up to the same level as the sun deck |
 |
| Today (and possibly the weekend) will see the sliding panels installed and the house 'sealed' |
 |
| View from alongside the plunge-pool, Marvin hard at work laying the new deck - the teak eventually arrived! |
