<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">It has been the busiest month yet. We are just approaching the 9th month of construction and have proven ourselves as a viable island contractor. We have been very organized and have used some of the best subcontractors and laborers to construct this gorgeous villa and that is why we are at this stage in less than the usual "island construction time" of 12 months to 24 months. In the last month, we have completed all tile work, including the showers, all of the exterior brick work on the veranda, walk ways and pool patio, packed and shipped our last container with the cabinets, stair material and furniture, shipped granite and appliances in from Florida and installed all of the same. We have also hooked up the airconditioners, installed light fixtures and ran the gas line for the high efficient hot water heater. Yes...we have hot water. <br /> The travertine is breath taking. Above is the great room.</td></tr>

OK so onto our interior stair well. We have climbed a ramp joining the main and lower level for months. Once the plaster started we had to remove the ramp and replaced with a 12 ft ladder. No one was happier than us to see the stairs arrive on island and be installed. Below is a picture of the material which is very old 4X12 re-claimed barnwood beams that we used to construct our staircase. </div>

Well we ar definately in the home stretch. The past few weeks have trnsformed this villa from a "concrete structure with a view" to an "absolutely gorgeous Pool Villa with a view". This is a view we really have not shared until now. All of the concrete is complete. AMEN!!!!!!!!!! Even Denise was in for the finishing touches after a long day cutting our Reclaimed Chicago Brick Pavers in half for the Lanai/Veranda and the pool patio. We have one of the few "flat" driveways on the entire island. Couple that with only 2 steps to get into the villa, we are truley unique.</div>

While all of the above is going on we have also started laying the stone retaining wall that leads you graciously to the entrance. The walls are first constructed out of native stone, Chicago Reclaimed Brick Pavers, conch shells and coral. Once complete, th joints are tuckpointed with smaller shells. It isan awesome look. Trust me. Next time we post we should be almost done with the stone work<br />

We decided to put together some photos to create a timeline to show the progress we have made in a short time. Over the past year or so, we cleared all of the trees that would be in the way of constructing our villa. We also cleared all of the "garbage" vegetation located in our beautiful natural rock out croppings. In the picture on the right we left one tree because of its location. This tree was located approximately at the edge of the veranda and the "y" was the approximate height of the main level veranda. We left it until we were ready to break ground so we had a decent vantage point during the final planning stages.</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">So backing up a few steps....This picture is the container that was used to ship the clay tile from from France. On St John it is known as the "Peter Bay" tile. It is beautiful..We ordered the clay tile back in April just after we started construction to make sure it was able to be on site in time. The container first had to make a pitstop in Jacksonville where it cleared customs. Then Lester, our roofing contractor, met the container and loaded it with the custom 6" copper gutters he fabricated 1150 miles away. The container was then shipped to St Thomas and then brought overon a barge.</td></tr>

We are very fortunate, as you can see by the picture to the left, that we were able to build a ramp onto the roof so we were able to access the roof very easily. This was Denises idea and it was brilliant!<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ok so now onto the plaster.....We decided to start inside on the lower level so we can "work our way up and out of the villa". Once we are done plastering the inside, we can begin to lay our beautiful travertine and simultaneously begin to plaster the out side. This picture is one of the lower bedrooms and already has the "scratch coat" applied which is the first coat of plaster. Once that dries over a few days, two more coats of plaster are applied. We decided to use a colored plaster and it has a Tuscan finish which tends to be more vintage. </td></tr>

It's been a month since our last post. We have had a lot of progress as we received our second container and the trailers with all of our roof material, membrane for the clay tile roof, tongue and groove for the ceilings, windows, exterior and interior doors, along with travertine.</div>

This picture above shows the installation of the tongue & groove ceiling material which is then covered with plywood that is screwed to the rafters. Once complete a waterproof membrane is applied to insure no damage to the finished ceilings.</div>

As you can seen in the above and below pictures, the tongue and groove has been installed on the lanai and we couldn't be happier. John is a master of mixing stain, he made a perfect match for the rafters to match the pre-finished tongue and groove ceiling material.</div>

The doors we have for the villa were a spectacular find, 8' tall and 3' wide, custom fabricated out of reclaimed barn-wood. It gives the villa a rustic yet elegant caribbean feel and is like nothing we have ever seen on island.</div>

I wanted to start the blog with a picture of the view, it's just amazing and the constant breezes are such a welcomed reprieve from our mostly warm and sunny days. Caribbean Palm Villa survived its first tropical storm, Bertha. This picture was taken from standing up on the roof. All of our roof framing is 3 x 8 and 3 x 12 pressure treated lumber to resist rot and termites.</div>

The above picture is a closer view of the entry area to the villa. Over the next couple of weeks we will be final sanding and staining of the beams. Next will be the cyprus tongue and groove ceiling followed by treated plywood, then covered with a membrane to resist water penetration. Our clay tile from France is currently in Florida and will be arriving here within the next two weeks. Please feel free to share your thoughts.</div>

Been a very intense 3 weeks since our last post getting ready for the next and final structural concrete pour. Over the past few weeks all of our roof framing materials arrived on site as we planned ahead and ordered the material from Florida long before it was needed on site. The "curb appeal" is beginning to materialize!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In efforts to keep the job on its lightning pace we have planned ahead, the general contractor should always be thinking three weeks ahead. This way you have what you need when you need it as opposed to being "down". Below is a picture of the 3X8 rafters being set in place in the concrete forms.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once the rafters are in place and all electric, plumbing, and AC work is complete, the remainder of the forms are set in place and braced. We will notch the top of each rafter and lay rebar in the notch and then "hook" that piece of the rebar with another piece of rebar to the beam made which is also made out of rebar that will be cast in concrete called a "ring beam". The picture below is the ring beam which ties all of the arches of the veranda/lanai to the colums which anchor the roof to the slab below. Pretty impressive if I must say so myself.</div>

Overall we are two months ahead of schedule. Our concrete is looking to be below budget as we thought this project thru thouroughly and budgeted properly. Our entire project is actually under budget. We may be the first to ever say that on island! Our final picture is one of our doors that was loaded in the container that was shipped out of Chicago today. They should be on island over the next couple of weeks and we will be ready to install all of them. Thursday the 24th is our concrete pour. We will update the blog most likely friday evening.</div>

We excavated the front walkway around a series of rock outcroppings and cactus to allow us to keep some of the existing natural landscape setting. (picture below) We have decided we will need a stone wall along the brick covered walkway which will add a lot of nice island character since we will be utilizing the island native stone, commonly called Bluebitch.</div>

Its been 3 weeks since our last post. The progress continues at lightning speed. Since we posted on May 22nd we have finished the majority of the earthwork including cutting for the sidewalk to the main entrance. Below is a picture looking up at the villa. Rather impressive don't you think.</div>

Once we backfilled around the lower level and cut the footings for the remainder of the main level, we decided to step the pace up even more by digging the pool and prepping for the 24 by 30 pool veranda. Since this area is only a 4 inch step down from the veranda it made sense to pour the entire main level as well as the pool veranda at the same time. This picture above shows all of the rebar used to form to pool floor.</div>

Within 2 weeks of pouring the pool we had the entire main floor formed for concrete. This includes roughing in the remainder of electrical, plumbing and air conditioning. All of this entails an enormous amount of labor and material to support the concrete floor from below with plywood, 4X4 posts and metal jacks that must be left in place for 3 to 4 weeks after the pour. </div>

Because of the size of the pour we hired a pump with a boom to assist in pouring the concrete more efficiently. This pour totaled 76 yards. That is 8 completely loaded concrete trucks 9 yards each and one "straggler" at 4 yards. The pump allows the concrete to be put in place much faster and when pouring such a large slab we do not want any cold joints. Add to the equation that all of theses trucks are barged over from St Thomas so timing is so critical. </div>

This picture was taken yesterday, Tuesday. This is the view from the living room looking over the covered veranda.

Being able to sit outside any time rain or shine to enjoy the wonderful trade winds and yet be sheltered from the elements.</div>

This is our Kitchen lol. We started forming walls yesterday. Our roof rafters arrive on the 24th of June so looks to be another crazy few weeks. Hopefully we will be pouring the walls by the end of the first week of july or perhaps the second week. Later next week we begin the stone work that will serve as the base at the bottom of each of the 12 columns on the veranda. </div>

It has been another busy two weeks at Caribbean Palm Villa. In this time we have formed all of the lower level walls both interior and exterior. On this level there are two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms both of which feature ocean views to Rams Head and outdoor showers. The picture above is the morning of the pour. The pictures below will give you some idea as to the work and preparation needed to get to this point.</div>

During the past week we have roughed in plumbing and electric for the lower living level including the plumbing necessary for the cisterns. As you can see in the picture above and below there is many tons of rebar in the slabs as these are the floors that sit above the cisterns.</div>

Began pouring 43 yards of concrete at roughly 9:00 a.m. We had to contact the barges days in advance to arrange for the trucks to be on time because we needed 4 concrete trucks for this pour. With Carnival going on over on St. Thomas, this was especially necessary as some businesses close many of the days to enjoy the festivities.</div>

This is the last pic of the week and happens to be the view from the outdoors shower from one of the lower level suites. Can't you picture yourself here?? Next couple of weeks will be extremely busy as we are aiming to form all the walls on the lower level including interior walls. We will be roughing in plumbing, electric, sat tv lines and lines for the A/C units. When forming the walls this includes all of the openings for doors and windows, interior and exterior. And there are many openings as we are putting in a lot of large windows and doors. Will have more next weekend…..Enjoy your week everyone!!!</div>

Over the past two weeks we have stripped and waterproofed the cistern walls, applying the first coat of Thoroseal on the interior of the cistern walls. On the left side of the picture the framing and bracing required to support the slab that will be poured this coming Thursday. The two larger openings are the cisterns that will hold just under 30,000 gallons of water which is collected from the roof.</div>

In efforts to save money and expedite stripping of the lower level floor once poured, we visited the local garbage dump and utilized old galvanized roofing material to form the underside of the lower level floor. In these floors will be the cistern hatches which would not allow a full sheet of plywood to fit through once stripped from the underside of the slab. The galvanized metal will roll up and fit easily through the cistern hatch opening.</div>

Last week we had a very productive week for Caribbean Palm Villa. We dug and set the septic system, hammered away at rock and dug out the cisterns. Luckily the rock was not that bad and only two days of hammering got us great results.</div>
