Last June we decided to buy a piece of property right here in town a few blocks from the plaza. For us, the lot had obvious intrinsic value....fruit trees, coffee, palms, no grass, a nice Mexican Magnolia and some other good size trees...
click on pics to enlarge.
We moved onto the property as soon as we could and spent 4 months living in the van during construction....
Through a recommendation from a friend and architect we built La Casita out of recycled PET bottles and mortar. Thousands of bottles were used, each with a cap and only air filled.
Held in place with chicken wire and finally filled in with mortar using plywood forms.....
A lot of mature coffee
Two big chocolate pudding fruit trees...
and plenty of bananas...
Thanks for checking out the pics....
More to come.
