Our house for the next year. Well make it a home!
Calle Monterey. Really an u-shaped alley off the street.
Yard side of the house. The yard may be the best feature.
The back yard. That is a very fruitful lime tree just to the left of the post. There is nothing like having fresh limes every day!
Huge palm and pine tree; eucalyptus visible just to the left.
The old cistern tower, no longer used. This can be Brett's private hot tub to bathe in. Did I say "hot"? Maybe after the sun heats up the water after several hours. No, I didn't forget about you, Jordan. Have something special waiting...
Just for you, Jordan. Suicide shower in the maid's quarters. Notice the bare electrical wires hanging there eagerly waiting for you...
Driveway and carport. Motos are extra.
Maid's quarters at end of driveway. Kitchen door to the right.
The kitchen.
Dining room and living room. Notice fireplace to the right. For those chill 60° evenings.
Joshie's bedroom.
His closet. One of the best features of the house, a rare find in Panajachel, closet space.
Joshie's bathroom with steeping tub and shower.
Our bedroom. Dida sleeps in the twin to the left.
Other half of our bedroom. Bunk beds will be relocated to other rooms for visitor use.
Our closet space. Shelves had to be lined, they are dirty particle board in rough shape. Hanging space is in adequate but will be added to once I find Menards.
Our bathroom. Loosely hanging sink and constantly dripping shower are bonus features.
I've already started to do some repair work even in my sickly condition, mostly elecrical to remove some exposed wiring and to install the washer. Although most of the outlets are two-slotted, they are grounded. The boxes are metal and connected to the breaker box with metal conduit. So switching over to three-slotted outlets is fairly simple. Bzzzzt! Oh, yeah. Turn off the breaker, Jordan!
You will make it lovely! It's already starting to come together.
ReplyDeleteLovely? That may be reaching. Functional and more comfortable? That is my goal.
DeleteLooks like a big place! I know you will make it a comfy home!
ReplyDeleteBig? Yes. We've looked at other "big" houses here, but too many were weirdly arranged, almost like three separate apartments; too difficult to function in. The room arrangements are more conventional [workable] here.
DeleteLooks like you got a great home for your family! Defiantly a home that one can grow fond of. May Jehovah continue to bless you and give you your needs for the day.
ReplyDeleteReflecting back on others we looked at and where we were, we are relatively happy with this one. Downing little things to make it work better. [Future blog: Home Improvements]
DeleteSelfishly, I am so glad you are back to your blogging. I was so afraid you gave it up. Miss you guys. Hugs and Kisses 😘
ReplyDeleteToo sick and just being lazy. When I do have energy I'm trying to run errands and do tasks around the house. Sometimes even relatively simple things exhaust me.
DeleteFeeling better last few days, so am going to try to get back into blogging.
Looking forward to your future blogs.
ReplyDeleteDo they have apple cider vinegar there?
