Little House in the Jungle, Ch.1

This is how we built our cabin at the finca, in pictures. :)

First, we picked the spot, and cleared a piece of forest...

And stacked a pile of firewood...

the serious slope made tying level strings interesting...

Ditching out the steepest of the hill.

We have a foundation!

Levi stayed with the men that were working for us for an afternoon to finish up this bracing

All done! One closed bedroom with a loft on top of it, and open living space. 

the " kitchen", aka roofed campfire area

Noah's birthday was our first chance to spend the night

My big boys getting breakfast started. :)
