Things at False Bluff, on Nicaragua's Caribbean coast, continue to develop...to change, to grow. Nature doesn't stop even when a pandemic throws a barricade at us. We're not on site but nature has continued to develop the plans that we laid out more than 10 years ago....and it just gets better and better.

ENEL 8
Finally...the hole is dug and the 'house' pole is moved into place.
The ground end is positioned near the hole and the guy with the X-shaped tool stands ready to hold the pole when the men start to lift it.
Up goes the pole.....
...as the guys with the barbed sticks move into position.
Done!

The house gets painted
The first paint on the house at False Bluff was flat latex: a creamy white and 'flamingo' on the wood work.
Though we stayed with the same general color scheme, the change is startling. We've gone from the flat cream to high gloss white; and there's never been a flamingo born that's the shade of pink that now graces the wood work.
The change to oil based high gloss works well in this Caribbean environment and it sure cleans easily!
It didn't take any time at all to get used to.
