a bigger roof over our head
















When we visited the site on Monday, June 2, the roof [g.i. sheets] was maybe about 40 percent done and they were digging for the maid’s quarters and ‘dirty kitchen’ – the dining room, next to the living room, and’gourmet kitchen’ will serve as ‘roof’ for that area.. Hopefully, by tomorrow, June 6, when we go back, the digging will be complete and cement work for foundation walls and pillars will have been started.

Tomorrow, we also have to decide on the type and color of roof tiles. Noel has a certain kind he likes but we found out that the price differential is considerable and delivery time (120 days) not acceptable.

We have settled on wood planks, narra, for the bedroom floors and the rest of the hosue will be mostly stone or ceramic tiles. So many little things we have to start worrying about and deciding – door knobs, shower heads, toilets, sinks, faucets, etc. etc.
