home stretch now..i will post a before and after shot in about a week. cost to date 1,800,000 php ($40,000)...saved that is just 3 yrs...pretty much a miracle for a house painter who has been paying $1500.00/month rent for the last 5 yrs here in canada...sat back and insisted on only one thing for addition in the republic...two tone blue everywhere...dark blue roof..light blue on body of house with same dark blue on trim....place is looking crisp, very crisp...when you see the place you want to have a beer...blues are funny that way.....no one fired...no one sent kicking rocks...no one had to go to confessional....still waiting on big sliding door...something about typhoons holding things up ..stress level to date throughout process....0%.
