- Bought some extra lumber and plywood to build out the foundation and to possibly donate to Carrot Bay for the park area. For the foundation, having the stirrups made offsite to save time and money and not having to pay a guy to be onsite daily to make them. Not trying to have the foundation build out dragged out too long so tools are in place to help with speed.
Builder, plumber and electrician are in place for construction; just making sure accounts and last items on the list are completed before construction starts.
This video is dedicated to Ronald Donovan who passed away the same day I was travelling back to the states. Rest in peace brother.
Enjoy the journey with me.

What!!!! What kind of builder that you hired. A builder should have their support Jacks that they take from projects to projects.
Maaaaan! You working too hard. I would hire a handy man to do all the pre work every time I go home. I am sure there are may young men in Tortola who would be happy for the little job. I am sure you want to be alive to enjoy to property. Also, I would have that water tank outside and already filled with water from setting up a sheet of galvanize as water catchment. I would be filled from two good showers.
Good going on the project!
Tola is not like how is was 20 years ago, so, you have to be careful who you trust with your stuff. There is more to just having items loaded from the port as there is a very detail process that I go through. I do it myself to make sure it gets done correct the 1st time. Even for me, the broker sometimes make mistakes that hold up everything so, you have to react fast to have the situation corrected. Sometimes it is 2 months of planning and I have a backup for every primary person I use in the effort. You need to have this doing anything in the BVI.
As to the support jacks, that was a personal investment. Some builders have but they mostly borrow from each other which becomes a timing issue if you needed them and someone else currently have. I found it's best to own your own stuff cause to also rent, it turns out cheaper to just buy out right. The cost wasn't substantial and I can recover any money spent by selling when I'm done. Plus, there is a phase 2 to this project that would require the jacks. Time is money.
The water tank is related to a previous video where I'm unable to get a water connection due to disarray within the Water and Sewage department. There are water lines right by the road at the property line but unable to get a connection at this time since last year August. Made all kind of concessions to get it but it's like talking to someone deaf. It becomes political at this point so the water tank is the work around to keep things moving.
