The mud operation continues as we fill the property in preparation for the building site. A new wheel barrel was also purchased to gain more ground. Another section of the first acre should be completed by the end of week.
Meanwhile we have been observing other building sites and learning about pilings, casting concrete, water cisterns, etc. Being on the lagoon side and a significant distance from the main road, water will be an issue as we begin building. This thought provoking concern brought our attention to the need for more water once the first building is complete. Originally we planned to have two water tanks on site for the first building and adding a water cistern to the next buildings. However with the need for water and cost of transport as a couple of reasons, we have decided to add a cistern to the first building. Our Belizean draftsman is working out two new additional sheets to our original building plan to add this feature. Updated plans should be ready within a week.
