Work has started and the first signs of the new tree houses are starting to show. This is Milton (left) working on twisting some re-bar together for the concrete supports. The tree houses will use trees for support, but will also be bolstered by steel perlings.
It's tricky to pour concrete here at this time of year with the weather, etc., because it can open up and just pour in the afternoons a lot of time. The three-person crew is mixing concrete the old-fashioned way: bags of concrete, gravel and sand and stirring the concoction up with shovels, putting it into a wheelbarrow and carting it to where it needs to go.

wonder if Holmes on Homes does Costa Rica ... if this treehouse endeavor were a TV show, what would it be called and on what channel would it be shown?
how about "gringos smart enough not to try something like this on their own?" ha! these fellows are cruising along pretty quickly, cool to watch it all come about. . .
