Cabina construction – Floors & Sinks

Posted on May 25, 2011 by Bob

The view from the west looking eastward

The kitchen counter “rough in”

Front street side view. The electric hookup is “subterraneo”…


Outside sink on the east side (for cleaning fish!)

The floors throughout are this earth tone, except for the bathroom shower floor….

From the “uphill” east side of the street that leads to Tronadora (looking west).


It’s “getting there”! Notice the window details….

The ceilings are closed in now, ready for paint and light fixtures.

Roofing time

In these shots you can see the ceiling and roof rafters going in. The fellow in the last photo with the white shirt is my accountant, Sr. Barrantes. Looks like the weather is still holding by the view in pic # 2. The floor gravel is in as well, and the floor should be poured soon.

New pics from April 21st. The septic system is in, and the men are installing the plumbing and electric. You can see the window sill details on the front of the casita.

Here are a few more pics of the progression. Thanks again to Yorleni for her time and efforts. Still sunny and pleasant in Tronadora as the wet season looms ahead.

Cabina Construction Photos – Verandah

Ask for more pics and……voila! From the other side of the casita. The photo with the wooden bench depicts the kitchen/sala area which looks into the forest and further into the hills beyond. There will be a covered verandah on this side as well as on the front facing the road.

Cabina Construction Photos – Window Frames

April 2nd……. More and more cement work accomplished this week. A few minor “tweaks” to be made regarding windows, but all in all shaping up to plans. It’s hard to judge the scale from the pics as they turn out somewhat compressed when uploaded to the blog. I don’t know how to rectify this yet. Next week should produce some photos from the other sides of the casita.
