Well Howdy neighbor Raimie! We sure do miss hanging out on your back porch eating BBQ? I took a pix of my shop here a bit ago for something or another and darned if your mug wasn’t turned up on my calendar in the background! The boys busted my nuts for it since it was wrong month! Nothing gets by this bunch I tell ya. For most part same cast of derelicts, we are all envious of your progress, except Mitch of course who chose a similar path. We all live vicariously thru you guys. Be safe and bounce in and stir up some S**** every now and then. Great to hear from ya!

Hahaha, you just wanted a little bit more alone time with my ugly mug! Please tell me you didnt have intimate conversions with the calendar while staring at me!! I'll try to be more diligent about stopping in and chatting.

Is it fairly affordable to build down there?

We are building a 1025sq. ft. home with the pool it is costing us about $140k, no land. The construction is steel studs and durarock. There are other means of building, Poured Walls (most expensive), Concrete blocks, Durarock, Precast, Container home (least expensive) We went middle of the road. Its not uncommon to have a multimillion dollar mansion in the mix of Tico houses (Locals). The higher up the mountain you go the more expensive. We are at the base of the mountain. The views are what is costly. We bought .28acres for $55k. The same size with a view of the ocean up the mountain $125k.
