		<description><![CDATA[We went back to Cerro to fix up some of the unfinished work left undone by the work crews. First, we wanted to get the rocks, sand and gravel piles (some of which are visible in photos of the wall on our preceding post) out of the road and on to our property. The fact [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We visited Casita Chuparosa over the May Day holiday and subsequent week-end, and paid the final portion of the new construction costs. We were somewhat surprised by the amount of work left to be done. For one thing, we understood the agreement to include the floor tiles &#8212; but only the shower stall and kitchen [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The architect sent us a few photos of some of the work in progress at Casita Chuparosa, so I want to post some of my photos of the site before construction, and the architects photos for comparison. Unfortunately, we haven&#8217;t been to the site to actually see this work yet, so my photos are not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can not believe I last posted over a week ago, and promised some photos &#8230; and yet still have not delivered. My bad.
Also, last post noted that we paid 1/2 down &#8212; well we thought we had, anyhow. We deposited 25% in cash in the architect&#8217;s bank account, using a local bank. And we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On February 27, 2008 we returned to Cerro de Ortega, intending to get things started. We arranged to talk with the architect in Tecoman the following day. We also talked to some local construction guys about building just the stone wall. Before leaving Chapala, we had talked with a builder/friend who estimated that a wall [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, one of the two architects we contacted responded on February 7th &#8212; this was the one that said he would provide three plans for us to choose from within a few days. He sent one plan. It was nice &#8212; but left out several of our main concerns, in particular the stone wall we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the weekend (Jan 18-20) we went back to Cerro. This time we stayed in the casita, just to see what it would be like, as is. It was a bit like camping. First, we had to chase a bat out, and clean out the pigeon nest. Those big wavy metal laminate sheets that make [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve added a label for Lake Chapala, in the state of Jalisco. The white lines are state borders. The city of Colima is in the state of the same name, while the right side [...]]]></description>

The front is covered by a hanging cloth. The toilet side has the bottom-part of a toilet, flushing is accomplished with a bucket [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To implement The Plan, we will first have to find an &#8216;ingeniero&#8217; or architect, who can evaluate the current structure, and see if it is feasible to work with that, extending it both upward and outwards, or if it needs to be razed to make room for our planned structure. But more about that later. [...]]]></description>
