Building our house in Mexico: Finally onsite to check out the build

So my dad and I got into town yesterday. It's my first look at the build in person, which was exciting. It was great to walk through a space that I have imagined in my mind for so long. It feels like everything is sized and scaled really well, which I attribute to having some great design help.

This set of pictures captures some of the build detail, as well as hopefully capturing what the views might look like.

Third floor looking southwest towards the ocean. This area will have one of the best views, but I'm too chicken to walk the beams to the building corner to take a pic.

One of the best parts of being here in May is that the mangos are ready. This mango tree that hangs into our lot is postively lousy with the tasty little buggers. Lunchtime!

View from the street. The basket-handle arch on the second floor stairwell window will be changed to the same point-arch as the openings on the first floor.
