The Experience

We have multiple structures in progress, due to the lack of an experience person with construction skills. 1- An Outdoor bathroom, it has the metal foundations and we need to build it up. 2- The chilling area next to the pool, this will be a wifi space for co-work. 3- The terrace in the guest house, this got eating by worms we need to make a roof and and a new floor. Because is a beautiful area for chilling. And other exciting projects :)
