Construction Update

Road work on Broadway continues.


Flames trees are out!



A new adobe style house being built...no overhangs for the monsoon seasons...



This house is almost ready to move-in--just a few more odds and ends!




This small two bedroom house is also almost ready.




A new house started since I left for Utah.





A lot has been done while I was away in Utah! It is the time of year when the flame trees bloom (I missed the Flame Tree Festival while I was gone), although they don't seem to be quite as fully bloomed as last year.

None of the homes are completed yet--it always goes slower than one would think--but two are getting close to move-in status.

Another section of bricks are about to be laid on Broadway, and the new park and amphitheater are well on their way. The paper made an announcement that the main road through town would finally be reworked (it has been many years in getting to this point). This will be a real mess! They are putting new drainage lines, new roads, sidewalks, etc., right past all the government offices, the medical clinic, the schools and library, and several stores. They say that the work will take 260 days... It should be a long year...
