Stefan and I have spent a lot of time trying to pick out our counter tops for the kitchen. First we wanted granite, but the only granite we liked was the the most expensive ($75 per sq ft) and we didn’t really like it THAT much. Stefan went to the quarry to check out what [...]

Summer and I are about to leave for San Juan. We are going to take a vacation in a nice hotel there called The El San Juan Hotel. We have stayed there before and definitely like it. It is very nice. Funny thing, we will be driving up there in a bronco that smells like [...]

Just 3 days after Stefan planted the grass seed, the grass “peach fuzz” was visible. These pictures were taken less then a week after the seed was planted: Looks like I’m going to need to save up to get Stefan a riding lawn mower for Christmas…Go, grass, go!

We’ve been looking to plant lots of fruit trees on our property, but tree “nurseries” have been a bit harder to come by then you would think. Remember science class when you were in 4th grade? Where you would stick some toothpicks in an avocado pit, half-submerge it in a cup of water and a [...]

Stefan and I surfed at Pools yesterday and I got my inaugural sea urchin in the foot. Sea urchins are probably the biggest hazard when it comes to surfing in Puerto Rico. The little bastards are everywhere. Almost every good surf break is reef and where there is reef, there are urchins. Thousands of them. [...]

We have had one reported injury since we started working on the house here in Rincon…and that was Josh…after he got back to California. His back completely went out on him. The week before he and I moved a boat load of boulders which very easily could have contributed if not been completely to blame [...]

Great news everyone! I just dialed in our Google Calendar to work on www.ca2pr.com so you can check out when we have visitors here and when you can come visit. Reserve your days for your Puerto Rico vacation by going to the Calendar page, check availability and shoot us an email. We’ll go ahead and [...]

I moved down here in May and have been here ever since working on the house and my business. All the while, Summer has been running her business in San Diego commuting down here so we can be together and so she can chip in on the house work. We planned it, we knew what [...]

I have been anticipating a swell for the past three days. I haven’t checked the surf yet this morning but even if the swell did come in, I already know that it is going to be blown out. It is almost 7:00am, I have been up for the better part of an hour drinking my [...]

We worked all day planting palms today. I want to take a bunch of pictures when we have better light, but I told Summer that Mark and I planted fourteen palm trees and she made me go out into the rain as the sun was setting to take a couple pictures to post so she [...]
