Hi there everybody. I've got a couple of recent pictures to show you:
This is EPA, a big hardware and home-improvement store in Costa Rica. Unfortunately, it only has branches in or near San Jose, which invariably means getting lost if you try going there. In any case, last weekend Angela and I took the chance and tried to get there, and after a few wrong turns and a lot of profanity, we finally made it. As you can see, EPA takes its style cues from both Home Depot and IKEA. Home Depot, because of the incredibly large and varied selection in comparasion with the crappy little stores where we live. And IKEA because...well, it's all blue and yellow. In any case, it was really nice to go there, since you can actually look at and touch the products that you'll later buy and take home...all in the same day!
Back to the house, here is that tree branch we planted, which continues to amaze me. I'll probably be putting new pictures of this thing on this blog until the late 2050s.
The aluminium and glass guys started putting in some of the windows, and we hope that they'll be finished by the end of this week. That's pretty essential, since the fog was bringing in so much humidity that our wood ceiling panels were beginning to get so wet from the atmosphere that they were dripping. Dammit dammit dammit!
See you in hell, rainwater!! These two tubes take runoff from the gutters on our roof and throw it to the side of a small cliff on the edge of our property.
Angela talking to the window guys.

Looking good. I was a little worried since that first picture of the house was taken at an angle. It looks like it's ready to fall over! So is there any property nearby that's for sale for me? I gotta figure something out for when I move down there so we can start out business venture.
Hey Paul,
There's always property for sale, if the price is right. Plus, we could probably get you a relative discount, since Angela is basically related to everyone in Berlin.
