We Saw One Contractor's Work

Today Paul and I went to St. John to meet with Mr. Wheatley of Caribbean Affordable Housing Company. He took us to see a house that he is completing there. On our way to the house, we saw these guys:
Yes, we do have deer in the Virgin Islands. At least on St. Thomas and St. John. I don't know if there are any on St. Croix. Mr. Wheatley's friend told us that they were brought to the islands some time ago for people to hunt.

Back to the house... the house appeared to be well constructed. The insulated concrete roofing that Mr. Wheatley used for the house's storage area did keep the area cool. The owner of the house is an artist and did some really neat paintings on the concrete floors. I wish I had pictures. Mr. Wheatley has some pictures of the house linked to his site: http://www.caribaffordablehousing.com/cahc_pictures.php

On the way back from to the ferry, Mr. Wheatley said that he was working on our estimate and that he expected it to be lower than what he originally told us. Yippee!!
