Plot Preparations 8

We have decided to buy an additional 17.2 Are of land adjacent to the first plot.  These 1720 square meters will give us an area to spread out the driveway and the garage and some nicely contoured land for gardens to the east.  The earthmoving machine will stay a few more weeks to prepare that area too. This land is the big earth wall you see in the back of the first photo below.

Today Roland drove us around to the other side of the valley so that we could see how the walls look from there.  Note in the photo below that there are few leaves on the trees.  It is the dry season.

The retaining walls are coming along very nicely and the house foundation has been laid out and they will begin to pour the it on Tuesday, the day after theIndependence Holiday.  

Roland gave me a chance to practice driving the earthmover today.  What a trip, what every kid wished for Christmas!

The project is led by Roland and there are two team members from Tropis Living also involved in overseeing the construction.  Kedek is the architect and Wilhelm is the engineer.
