House Construction

We have been building a house for 4 years now. Yep, that's right, 4 years! With half a year of rainy season every year, construction costs going through the roof, spending approximately a total of a year in the USA during a two year period on leave without pay, we're just taking our time. We also don't want to be paying on this house for 30 years so we're doing much of it out of pocket whenever we have the money. There's no rush really, we have a perfectly good house we're living in right here on the same property. It will be three story but the third story will only be about a third of the house, the rest is two story. Five carports and about 4,000 sq. feet, it's going to be amazing with amazing views.  I can't wait till it's done but I try not to dream about that too much since it'll still be a year or so (or more, who knows?) till it's finished. By request, here are some pictures.


From the living room looking into the entrance on far right, dining room
in the middle and kitchen on the left.

Looking from the kitchen into the living room with the dining room
on the left next to the kitchen.

 View from third floor, overlooking second floor roof. Third floor
doesn't have roof yet.
View from other side of the third floor.

Living room with big sliding glass doors/windows to be able to
open up and have it completely open air. There was going to be a
balcony there but now there will just be a railing to save living room space.
There will still be a balcony on the second half of the house outside the bedrooms.
