Bungalow update 10/19/2013

                     Our home is coming together now.  It won't be long until move-in day.

 This is what you look like after a day of sanding ceilings.

John and Randy are under there putting in water and sewer lines.

The darker color is called Caramel the lighter is called Iwine.
(Not sure what Iwine is, looks a little beigy to me.)
This is the living room, the entire living room.

The green below is more of what it looks like.  Dennis did a great job on the shower tile.

Floor tile almost done.  Future home of the official Bungalow Commode.

Looking in from the front door.  Kitchen will be on the left and that's our bedroom on the right.
The outside doors are up now just not in this photo.
Nice looking ceiling fans, Thanks Mike Holifield!

All the masterminds at work.
Randy, John, Dennis, and Tim.
Cute little porch huh!

Front porch after Dennis walked on it.
Don't worry it's not paint, just dust.

The wood is called Cabbage Bark and it is exotic and very expensive in the states.
It is quite beautiful, but not hard to get here.

We are going to have a team here in a few weeks so Dennis and I have to be out of the dorm soon. It will be good to be in our home.  I mean, the dorm is quite nice but it's definitely not a home.  I will miss our gecko family.  But I have already spotted one over at the Bungalow.  

Just yesterday I walked into the dorm and found this one above the bathroom doorway.  He is the huge one that came in when the scorpion was here.  This is the biggest one I've seen and he lives up where the water pump is.  When the our team comes maybe they will have the pleasure of a visit.  I asked Dennis what we should name him.  "What do you call big men Dennis?"  His reply was "Sir".  So we will call the giant gecko Sir.

Say hi to "Sir".

I also wanted to let the GLK know that the Lizard of Oz has two friends.  This is one of them.  He or she looks slightly smaller and is still green.  Oz is turning more of a brown/grey color.  I am told, by my friend from school, Albert, that they are small iguanas.

        

I have had some requests for a mailing address.  We are sharing the PO Box with Bridge the Gap.  When you write don't send cash or anything expensive, (checks are OK).  Send mail to Dennis and Vicki Lucas, Bridge the Gap, P.O. Box 336, Belmopan, Belize, Central America.  Put Central America on the bottom line by itself. 

Been thinking about family and friends with the holidays coming up.  Seems odd to still be sweating to death every day while it's getting cooler back in Tennessee.  That's alright, when you are really tired of the ice and snow you'll wish you were here! I don't see many Halloween decorations here.  Most people don't like it.  Of course, Thanksgiving is just for America, but there is Christmas and Santa Claus here.

That's it for now.  More blogs to follow soon.  Wait til you hear about the kitty cat!

Love you guys!
