Here's where your donations are going to...

I'm building a little house.

Here's a little background first: When I first came to Costa Rica in 2002 I met many American builders, all of whom built beautiful homes. One thing they were in consensus about was DO NOT BUY A CONCRETE PREFAB HOUSE HERE BECAUSE IT WILL COLLAPSE ON YOU DURING AN EARTHQUAKE.

Well, the 7.6 quake here in 2012 proved them wrong. Very wrong. None of these homes collapsed. They were designed not to collapse much to the surprise of those American builders.

SO, I am building a concrete prefab home.

Similar to the house I want.

If I bought a turn key prefab 3 bedroom 2 bath it would be about $18,000. Yeah, that's right, $18,000. But I'm 69 years old and only want a one bedroom which would cost, turn key, about $11,000.

Well, I don't want to pay that much so I decided to take advantage of the offers from the pre-fab builders. They offer to sell you just the materials so you can build it yourself. Well, that's what I'm gonna do. I'm going to build it as I can afford it.

I bought the concrete shell for around $1200. A local can construct it (electric, plumbing, floor, wall finishing) for around $2200. A friend is going to do the roof/ceiling gratis.. I just need to provide the supplies ($800-1000)

Tiling, doors, and windows will cost another $2000.

This is so much fun. I feel young again with a project. This is the last home I hope to build. The location of the house is in a cool setting, under a Guanacaste tree. I have a view of the sun setting behind the Tamarindo mountains. A perfect setting for AllHatNoCattle headquarters and a perfect gift for her 18th birthday.

So, your  donations are being well spent. And, of course, pictures will be provided as it progresses.

Thank you for your support.
