After almost two months of “mananas”, our wood has finally arrived and construction on our wee casita is underway again! Yahoo for the Yayos! The wood we have been waiting for sooooooo long is a unique wood referred to here as “yayo”.

It has a twisted, gnarly appearance that gives it a somewhat enchanted quality, like a tiny gnome or fairy could pop out of one of the pocketed undulations in the wood at any moment. We think they are going to make very unique and stunning posts for our casita.

Hopefully, this next phase of construction will go quickly and before long we will have a roof!
