Here are some new pictures of our house. It still takes a lot of imagination to see what is coming. Hard to believe but there is even more dust and debris than before. Most of the work is still being done on the new upstairs, there is some demolition happening in the garage but they haven't started digging there yet for the cistern.

This is looking from the back open room, or sala fresca, to the yard. Still no pool or pond but the septic tank is in and connected and covered up.



Looking up at the new arch over the master bedroom terrace. It's kind of deceiving here as the master bedroom is a half level above the guest bedroom or the front concrete terrace you see here.



Another view, a window in the guest bedroom is at the right.



This was taken while standing in the master bedroom, it is the view to the back yard. From this level I am looking through the scaffolding in the previous pictures.



This is the private terrace off the side of the master bedroom, it is surrounded by walls and opens only into the bedroom.




Looking down into the guest bedroom. Take note Country, this is your room!



This is the beginning of the stairs from the sala fresca up to first the guest bedroom terrace and then the master bedroom terrace. The 2 small rooms are the half bathroom and my pantry.



Looking towards the street from the sala fresca into the kitchen and the main part of the house.

WOW - things are looking good - love the arch.

How many square feet will you end up with (meters if you choose)?

Thanks for the photos they're great!

Juan, it's huge! Really, it is only 6 rooms + 2.5 baths but it comes out to over 4000 sq ft. I'm kind of freaked by that. It's not the same as it is calculated in the US though, anything with a roof is included in the sq meters including the garage and all terraces. Still, going from 200 sq ft in the RV for the last almost 7 years to this, well - it will be a change.

The two of you are giving me inspiration to look at building, rather than simply buying. But there will be plenty of time for those decisions.
