Well the last time I wrote in this blog, we were getting ready to head back to Canada for 1 month. It turned out to be 3 months, you know how things are! It was awesome to spend time with friends and family back home, but we were thinking about and preparing for Nicaragua everyday! Our plan this time is too stay here until we finish the resort, so keep checking back on this blog…its go time!
Our going away party back home in Canada
It has been raining the whole time we were gone…this is the first photo of the house since we got back.
We brought down 6 extra skateboards and are teaching the kids at the local school. I wish I had a skateboard class when I was a kid!
This is the river on the way to the resort. You can still drive through it, but for 1 month of the year it is like this. Some vehicles just cant handle it, that’s why we got our land cruiser, so we can help em out.
The river is too big here to drive through…had to wait 2 hours for it to die down.
We decided to just add a temporary fix to keep the insects out so we can move in. We are siliconing wired mesh net around the top openings of the house.
Same thing, just a closer photo. Remember check out our company back home – Off the Grid – www.otgwakesports.com
We had Nelson, our new worker and his brother to rock tile the shower walls…here is the final result, minus the shiny gloss we still have to add. I think it looks pretty cool.
We finally finished tiling the kitchen. The room in the background is now tiled as well…I just don’t have a photo of it yet.
haha, scorpion king!
Our 2 horses…we have no idea what to name them….any suggestions?
While we were in Canada, someone stole our electric cable from our power line while our guard was on a 1 hour errand in town….hmmmm??? I wonder
This is the Survivor helicopter filming for their 2 seasons of Survivor Nicaragua…they seemed to be filming the jesus statue 3 times a day!
Johnny and Nelson, our 2 workers making the bar counter and cement floor.
This is sweet…the circus is in town for about 3 weeks. We had to go twice to try and watch the guy die…he almost did the second time…later on we heard he actually fell off….check it out on my facebook page – lucas boychuk
Chilling inside the circus…
Look at the photos from the last post and look at this one of Buddy…man he grows fast! Still has a lot more to grow.
Our welder adding in the flip down/up windows in the paintball hut and the door…so we can lock it up at night!
Starting work on the first bungalow….
We have been waiting awhile for this rain to stop so the transport trucks can cross the river and give us our materials…all we need is sand and rocks to make the cement and get the walls up….so today….we are picking up our new vehicle, and we have the materials being delivered as I write this. We are going to make some breakfast and head out there right now!
We only have 1 month to finish this….stay tuned for updates!
