Some new photos of the Lodge!

I thought I'd share some photos of the lodge after the work that Steve, Bernabe, Nancy and I have done recently. We had to rip the floors out of both bathrooms due to some shody construction techniques from the builder that had the floors actually collapsing. We replaced the wet and rotted out floors with plycem, a cement fiber board material, and had a local tile guy come out to the island and tile the bathrooms. Also we had to cut out a couple of portions of the floors in the main house and guest house and retile as well. Over the last couple of weeks Steve and Bernabe replaced over 15 posts under the house also due to poor construction techniques. The house was sagging in a few spots so bad that the doors wouldn't shut! Steve did it right. Replacing all of the the failing posts that were not set in concrete nor protected in any way from the elements. The builder just set posts into the ground for the water and termites to destroy. What a learning experience this has been. From the roofs on all buildings we had to replace two years ago, to the floors that are sagging and rotted beams under the deck....I have learned that pretty isn't necessarily sturdy. With all of the elements to deal with out here on the island the rain, humiditly, termites, leaves, animals.... If you don't take these into account your bound to run into problems.
