House Pics!

Hi, this is us underneath our house in Long Island, Bahamas, which we finished work on for the season about two days ago. It is completed up to the point where, when we return, we will cut out the windows and doors, paint the exterior, and finish the interior. That will be next December. I can't wait! It's going to be so cute! These pics are out of order, but it was all I could do to get them online at all. We're really busy with the house and now getting things sorted so that we can sail back to the States in the next few days.
Brian used a tree limb for a sledgehammer handle. I thought it looked cool!
These are the rafters and a vent...
Plywood roof boards painted white. Plywood roofs are pretty popular in Florida and the islands. They are painted with a rubberized, white paint for waterproofing and heat reflective purposes.




These are the porch rafters...
Painting roof boards, under the house...
Our baby mango tree, an oyster plant, and a wild orchid in our yard...
I'm sanding rafters for Brian to put up...
Sitting under the porch rafters...
That would be the bathroom window...


Ooops, a little out of order, the house before the rafters...
The beach is just past those other rooftops, a 10 minute walk...







Half a roof is here!
First roof board goes up! Again, sorry they are out of order!

Baby coco...

The house that Brian built... and I helped!
No fancy lunches toward the end of our working days... simple tuna sandwiches.

Monkey man!

More roof... to be continued... We have pics of the completed house, but I have not downloaded them yet. I will get them up asap, I promise!!! In the meantime... have fun!
