Day 2 and Day 3

Day 2 was largely travelling - the drive to Ojochal.  Lunch in Quepos.  Torrential rain for an hour - fortunately the road is paved now!  Settled into Casa Jensen and then to dinner with Keith and Karen and Sonya and Jan - I am sure there was too much wine and too much gossip!

Day 3 - - STAKE THE HOUSE

In levelling the lot for building, they added some fill to make the flat plantele deeper.  This created quite the space.  Once it was staked, it was very clear that there was a large amount of space behind the house.  So, following some discussion and an assessment of the extra costs (due to the fill the foundations need to go deeper) we decided to shift the house back 2 metres.  This gives us about 20 feet from the front of the house to the edge of the slope to the road.  All in the sun - all great for plants and fruit!

Next the pool - in the right spot, but now appears small - add a metre.

Then the pool room - it did fit into the contour of the lot and tuck under the pool deck - now to do that would cut into good usable flat land - shift it to the far north end of the lot.

All great decisions and super improvements to the plan - but an expensive day!
