What We’re Working For (Puerto Rico)

All of this work we’ve been doing at our jobs and at our rentals we do 1) because we like to keep busy but also 2) because it is leading us to achieve our goal of living in Rincon. Knowing that we now nearly have enough money saved up and that all these rentals will be taken care of by a management company when we are gone has really made it hard to not want to just go now!


This is just waiting for us…

Britton told someone at his work that it’s like we were running a marathon and we crossed the finish line and just kept running. We have met our goal (we bought our place in Rincon), but for some reason we just keep working in Colorado. But overall, I think everything is coming together and the timing is working out perfectly. Just like everything in life, we keep refining and refining. But I think we are nearly ready to make the leap. We have a good savings, we have little to no debt, and we have income. We have each other and we know our skills and weaknesses.

So to keep up the motivation we’ve decided that each month that we are able to hold out, we should say what we are working for. The large goal of a property in Rincon, Puerto Rico has already been achieved, so now we just need to add just a few more things.

So for this month, the word of the month is TECHO. As in we need to put on a new roof on the wooden house in Rincon as well as seal the roof of the concrete cabana. That is what we are working for this June.


This month we are still in Colorado working to replace this roof!

    For the cement cabana – Crosscoat is $119 bucks for 5 gallons and that should do 2 coats for you. Add the price of a roller, paint tray and brush and maybe a $150 pressure washer and you’ll be done. Maybe another 5 gallons to paint the cabana (when the roof is done the rest will look faded) some awesome “only in Puerto Rico” color like lilac or bright yellow or orange or green…. The roof will have to be priced out when you get here – there may be beams that need reinforcing or replacing. It is HOT right now so you aren’t missing anything!

    Hi Katrina, yeah that’s the plan for the roofs. Price out the big one and I’ll do the work on the Cabana. I am excited to get started!
