All four wall frames and wall boards. Designing the windows we found and refurbishing them is a challenge. Now for the roof frame!

Took a little break from the first photo (craziness and cabin construction) to hike los quetzales. So cool. Ended up in boquete and stayed with our friend Noel for Carneval, the 100th year anniversary.

Hooooawwwwww! Lift that frame boys!

Frame, walls and windows

Continuing with the frame we have 3 of the sides done and the walls half way up. Now to decide how to do the windows, Limon sourced used wooden frame windows with some of the panes missing from a taller and we found discarded glass, big cool pieces at a window and glass taller. We're using the old ones as a guide but upon more discussion have decided it's best to buy new windows just for piece of mind. The frame is gorgeous inside red mahogany, laurel and teak on the yellow laurel walls. We oiled the existing structure, floor and walls with impregnating oil, opting out of varnish or sealant. Now with a few random showers the wood is waterproof, bug-free and warp resistant (a big problem with not fully dried wood and killer mid-day sun.)

The four of us have been working hard, sun-up to sun-down and cooking on the land. Lots of fried rice and bbq's. The goal is to be done, really finished in two weeks!

We have Walls

Walls...yah.

We have a Floor

And they smell great. This is from its raw round state to the cut 4 x 4's to the 1 1/2" floor boards. So much work. But entirely worth it. Thank you to cuyler yogi, he flew down to help us build. Couldn't have done it without him. aloha floor.
