By June 2010 things were really taking shape. The two wings of the Villa went up first,
then we tackled the center portion which holds the kitchen, common area, and on
the level below the game room and laundry.
I am sure that people watching the build-out from afar were
wondering just what we were up to, what this place was going to look like. But
for me, who knew what it was going to be, it was exciting to see my dream take
form day-by-day. And at the same time, was the realization that there was a lot
more work to be done. As the building was going up, I also took some time to
tend to the landscaping. We planted various flowers and foods along the winding
path up to the Villa from the road below.
And one of the things that would keep us motivated was seeing those
spectacular rainbows as they framed the work we were doing. What kinds of
things keep you motivated when you are involved in a huge, laborious task? What
would you like to have around to keep you motivated (keep it clean)?
Built
Tough Against Nature's Beauty
Once the beams were up; then came the floors and walls. We used
cement blocks for the walls. This is really hard labor. Again, hats off to the
crew for making sure it was done right, so we would have an excellent structure
that is safe and secure for our guests.
You can see from the pictures, steel continued to be an integral
part of the construction process. As I took pictures of the
construction, it was natural for me to make sure I got the scenery in the
pictures. I want you to see what it will be like as a visitor enjoying the
surroundings. When I share pictures with my friends, they all say how much they
would like to visit and experience this serenity first hand.
What do you think of this setting as a place for vacation? Do you
think it will help you relax and really "get away?"
