Things are starting to take shape this morning. Our lumber was waiting when we arrived, so we hit the ground running. The picture with this post is part of the new kitchen cabinets. You have to use your imagination, but we're getting there.
Howard and Steve got the big window (see yesterday's photo) framed and trimmed, so it's looking very good. And Chris got all the plumbing working (and not leaking), so we're all very grateful for that! Outside, Howard and Jeff have been leading Rosario (our translator) and several of the Ticos in painting the front of the building. But the award for "most valuable vendor" goes to Brian, who has been putting his skills as an electrical contractor to work non-stop since we arrived.
Our biggest problem has been availability of materials and tools. Chris had a really hard time getting toilet parts that fit. Johan (one of the local kids) and I kept breaking drill bits in this extremely hard wood. So we had to wait for someone to get more at the local hardware store.
Okay, it looks like work is starting back up. Gotta go.
