This site is dedicated to the building of our house; we hope to share our experiences and photos with you over the coming months (and years!?)

On firm ground




While Steve was busy building sandcastles, Hector and the lads were working on bigger and better things...

15 x 4 metres of polythene were cut up to fit the respective rooms of the ground floor, and laid on their sand beds, before being covered in what will be the base of our floors. Then, with waterproof concrete used in the first two layers of bricks, the next step of our damproofing (essential in Xalapa) has almost been completed.

Things at the lower end of the plot now look slightly more natural, although we were recently alarmed to notice how many frogs had committed suicide in our drain next to the garage. (Photos not yet available).
