For the past two years, we’ve been on a unique building journey: two houses, one plot. First up, we tackled a rather robust garage-turned-living-space, complete with a bedroom and living room. Think of it as our ‘staging area’ for the main event. The plan? Move in, get comfy, and then dive headfirst into building our second, proper house. This way, we can be hands-on, keep a close eye on things, and hopefully avoid any major ‘oops’ moments. It’s a bit like building a base camp before scaling Mount Colombia, but with more cement and fewer yaks.
Our second big project? Transforming our challenging, sloping plot into a thriving garden oasis. Imagine battling the scorching Colombian sun, all while wrestling with less-than-ideal soil. It’s a gardener’s ultimate test! We’re diving into techniques to combat erosion, enriching the soil, improving the watering system, and choosing plants that not only survive but flourish in this intense climate. And let’s not forget the ‘joys’ of cutting grass on a slope – think acrobatic lawnmower maneuvers. Oh, and the mosquitoes? Early evening here is like a tiny, buzzing air force. But hey, we’re determined to create a little slice of paradise, even if it means swatting and sweating our way to success.
Our third venture? Diving into the Colombian property market with a twist. We’re investing in an apartment, not just for us, but as a long-term rental income opportunity. What’s unique is the payment plan: we’re paying the builder in installments over three years as he constructs the building. It’s a fascinating process, and with two years already invested, we’re watching with keen interest as our future rental property takes shape. It’s a bit like watching a slow-motion magic trick, hoping the final reveal is as spectacular as the blueprint promised. Fingers crossed, it’ll be a solid investment and a great place for future tenants to call home.
