Galloping along at a snail's pace








We have been building for the past 10 months now. Progress is soooo slooooowww!! To all those who send emails asking if it is possible to build via remote control in Honduras (from another country) I say to you "BEWARE". My wife is honduran and she has been there for the past 6 months and even then we have had our share of problems. We have changed contractors twice. Yes, just started with our third contractor and feel very confident. We ended up going with a renowned firm. They are very thorough and meticulous when it comes to details. That is what we were looking for. They visit the site 4 days a week. The other 2 days they do administrative work (get estimates, find suppliers, do payroll, etc). Our previous contractor only visited 1 - 2 times a week.

But at least it's coming along...maybe another 3-4 months and we'll be finished!!!

Hey! It looks good. You'll notice the progress much more when you start doing the detail work inside. I mean, after all, concrete is concrete and the week to week changes just aren't that exciting.

Best of luck with your new contractor.
