Meet Tyson Maximin, the man with a pick and hammer. We have amassed quite a bit of rock during the excavation process, so Tyson has a lot to choose from.
These walls are fitted together with very little mortar. On the outside it looks like there is no mortar at all. But it's all hidden inside. The top edge is the only area where you can see the cement. Just to keep the water out. The color variation is wonderful.
Many of the homes here use native stone as decoration. Some even put shells and colored glass in with the stone. But we have chosen to keep in simple and modern, to go with the modern style of our house. After all, the stone is free. Only Tyson is expensive!
Look, Jim is on the phone, again. Probably trying to sell a client a marketing project. Jim has been a busy guy down here. He's been up to Maine and down to Anguilla. Bob has been as far as the beach. Whatever.
Look, The cook is surveying his new kitchen. Open-air cooking? Maybe not, the roofing materials arrived yesterday. We can't wait for a roof! A bit of shade will feel just right!
