Building cabana (part II)

Now that all wood pieces are cut, its time to start setup.
First the wooden pillars go in ground

 

This next step is a bit questionable... As per the locals,applying used engine oil helps to delay wood decay;  that can even be true, but I would think it would be wiser to have the wooden poles embedded in this oil for some days,  not simply pouring the liquid into the foundation.

 

As soon as the oil matter is finished the team starts to build up the skeleton of the roof.

 

Building a cabana (part I)

Its considered low season in Eastern Province from November to May  but still the weather is generally great; an average of 27 C.
It is perfect to start preparing things for the buzz of high season.

This year we have started expanding our infrastructure, we will be adding a kitchen and dining cabana, and improve the actual rooms with more equipment and furnishings.

Concept Drawing












The resource we have in hand are very little, so we decided to stick to simplicity.
All the materials are sourced locally and most of the materials are natural and recyclable.

The shell will be in wood, walls in plywood and the roof in coconut leaves.
