My Pavones Lot Ready To Build
My New Home Build
Building a home in Pavones, Costa Rica was for me, not that hard… You have to check around, ask questions about types of building styles, contractors, materials, water, electricity, and how long is this going to take?
My Contractor told me my home would be ready in 3 months…. 6 months later I was moving into my new home…
I was currently living in an oceanfront home in Playa Zancudo, I would bike ride the 16 miles round trip 4 times a week to check on the progress and making sure things were going the way it should….
My home was built with steel and solid concrete block, you have different options running from a wood home to prefab and onto block style homes. Some people have even used shipping containers…
The roof I used was a 20-year tin roof of good quality, you can go a lot cheaper but I would not recommend it. I also installed three and a half inch thick fiberglass installation between the metal roof and the half-inch green board below. The windows are metal framed with screens, highly recommended to keep the creepy crawlers out of the house.
‘When it is all said and done, there were some challenges, but nothing too extreme. Saying That would I do it again?
Yes, I would…
