Aug.28 - Houston we have lift
Off!
As you might guess we had a
monumental day on Friday when
we broke ground on our project.
As you also may have guessed
it is Michael on the right and
myself working hard on the shovels,
In the back row from the left
is Dewey and Carlina Hammond
investors from Georgia that
happened to be in Jaco to share
the moment with us, next is
Cristian and Jose our contractors
for general construction with
Olman looking on from the backhoe.
Cristian and our topographer
Federico marking out the lot.
What our jungle looked like
before we started, note this
was after it was mowed just
three weeks ago. With this soil
we are stripping off to be used
later I don't think it will
be too difficult to get a garden
growing in a few months.
What the first area of cleaned
lot that is now ready for the
topsoil to be stripped off looks
like now, or at least until
Monday, with Condominium Montecarlo
in the back ground.
Needless to say it is a little
difficult to explain just what
it feels like to finally get
started in real action after
a year of intense planning,
designing and sharing of our
dream with all those interested
in our vision of what a Costa
Rica home should be. At this
time I would like to thank all
of you that have shared in our
dream, gotten on board or are
at least still seriously considering
becoming part of our unique
concept and community. Although
this has been an extreme amount
of work for us which has come
to fruition with a lot of help
from our
entire team of consultants and
advisors it is all indeed most
gratifying to see the real action
begin and the dream unfold into
reality. Of course there is
always that satisfaction one
gets in showing the doubting
Thomas' that what we said we
could do we will do.
Actually the largest obstacles
by far have already been put
to bed and actually building
the project is not the difficult
part at all it is getting the
baby out of the maternity ward
that is the real challenge.
On another note the website
is finally back up and running
with a major overhaul mostly
complete with just a few things
to tweak and add to it.
For example there will be a
construction blog added where
I will report the construction
events as they unfold. This
is the method by which we will
keep our buyers informed on
what is going on. Now just because
you are all from five or six
countries away from the site
is no reason with today's technology
for you not to be fully aware
of what is going on, on a continual
basis. Through this I will not
only report with commentary
and pictures but also run it
like an ongoing lesson or a
continuation of my Construction
for Dummies article where I
will make comment along with
the pictures so that you not
only see what is happening but
why it is happening. I will
of course point out directly
to issues of importance that
you may well simply not be aware
of. I believe that it is essential
and much more comforting for
an investor not on site to know
exactly what is going on and
to feel confident in that their
new home will be built to the
highest standards and most progressive
methods that are available anywhere.
When one's whole intent is to
build world class quality there
is no reason to hide any of
the processes or reasons behind
what we do. Pictures, video
and the internet are to say
the least a great aid in providing
this information and comfort
to our owners. So form now on
when you want to know what is
going on all you have to do
is log into the site and see
the action unfold.
Also on the subject of the website
we have added a discussion forum
that I would appreciate you
registering for and participating
in to answer any of your current
or future questions you may
have or to join in the discussions.
Although I am the moderator
I would appreciate assistance
from those especially those
that have already been here
to meet with us to help in answering
questions and concerns of those
new to our venture. No doubt
now that we have started and
our advertising increases this
type of traffic will escalate
drastically. You will also note
our photo gallery will be expanding
drastically over the next few
days as Tom, who has done a
fantastic job of upgrading our
website, loads up many new pictures
as I have taken time to assemble
many of the pictures I have
taken over the past months while
touring many of you around Costa
Rica. It should add a ton of
color to the huge amount of
information that we already
provide.
Have yourself a great day and
once again thank you for your
continuing interest.
Regards,
Trevor
