"Natural Living Fence for My Costa Rica Cabin"

"Costa Rica and Nature go Hand in Hand."  Since Relocating from "Cocoa, Florida in the United States"
My Costa Rica Volcano Cabin

"Hardwood Fence Posts of Laurel"
"Front Fence Arenal Volcano is my  Front View"

Notches for Wire
"Costa Rica Hardwood Laurel"

Lumber Outside Skins
I am assured that Purchasing my House in "LaFortuna at the Base of Arenal Volcano", is the perfect Retirement Home for me.  My Neighbor for "Free" , "Fenced my Property" in the Natural Style of "Costa Rica".  Harwoods such as Laurel, Almond and more are used as "Fence Posts", secured by 3 lines of Barbed Wire. This is an Everlasting Fence, the Wood will never Rot.  Ecological Fencing, Forever lasting, Trees, Recycled into Fences. This has inspired me to Paint the "Landscapes of Costa Rica" .

From Shipping Containter to Eco Friendly House in Costa Rica

I noticed a Large "Shipping Container" being placed on a Lot, in the small Cul de Sac, I live in next to
 the"Rainforest in Costa Rica".  I met Carlos and Avionics Engineer, who lives in"San Jose, Costa Rica".
Carlos explained, he wanted a "Retirement Home" for he is 10 years away from Retirement, yet he wanted to build it as cheaply as possible...
At first I was scared about a Shipping container as a House, yet the Tranformation has begun. I am going to Document this "Eco-Friendly" House for everyone. Why with all the need for Housing in the World, cannot everyone "Recycle" even Shipping Containers to a "Green House".
These pictures depict how Carlos removed the Flat Roof put in metal Trusses and is now in the process of installing a "Barrell Tile Roof of Recycled Plastic", in the States we call it Ondura. This is a great Roofing material, reflects sunlight, wont face and can withstand winds up to 130MPH, but this is "Costa Rica" all we have our earthquakes.
This fully sustainable "Green House" is possible for everyone...I will continue to document the progress for  I feel this is just a great and informative ideas, with" Real Estate" being in the condition it is, An Eco Freindly Transformation is a great alternative in the "Housing Market".
So amidst the Rainforest and River that runs off  of Volcano Arenal, there sits this "Great Green Housing Alternative"
The website will show you pictures of the area surrounding this Home, filled with "Wildlife, Volcano Views" and the Beauty of Costa Rica.
