The Clubhouse is painted and trimmed, December 5th, 2009

Thanks to everyone that donated money towards sprucing up our clubhouse. I think the paint job is a good one. I did not let them dilute the paint very much. What do you think? Do you like the green trim?

I bought the new wooden ceder door you see leaning against the wall so we can lock up the tool room. The door has never been used comes with lock, key, and hinges for S/150 soles, around $50.

I guess this was controversial. I insisted on painting the east side the same as the other three sides, don’t dilute the paint, paint it all…with three coats, paint the trim, three coats…I don’t know, most people will never go on the east side but…I go there, and when I look back, I want to be proud of the work, so here it is. If you don’t like it, fire me, please. We have some green paint left so one of the crew is going to paint the water tank green.

Free Saturday Golf Lessons

Saturday was Jim Sax first time to the Amazon Golf Course, and his first free Saturday morning lessons. He paid us a nice compliment that I will share with you. He said, “Congratulations on having the nicest, cleanest, most modern bathrooms in Iquitos Peru, the tile work, the mirrors, the showers, the toilet seat, the towels, the toilet paper…” Thanks Jim, I passed that on to Margarita and Rodrigo to let them know their work was appreciated.

More New Construction Projects

We put up this new shade structure over bleachers for spectators of the soccer matches. The quality of the soccer games are a very high level of competition.

Rodrigo and Pablo are building this new flush toilet outhouse near our east boundry. They have tapped into the sewer pipe coming from the clubhouse. This will provide an extra toilet, mostly for the crew, but could be a valuable addition when we have large crowds. It will be finished with wood boards for walls and a thatch roof.

Bloosoms

I am impressed by how fast our landscaping plants and trees have grown. Every blooming bush and every tree will get a fresh mulch of our special compost mixture in the next couple of days. You can see the dark circles of compost around all of the blooming bushes and the rows of ficus and pomarosa trees in this photo.

Marmelita and I are going on vacation in a couple of days, so there will only be one more article with a few photos of the golf course until just before Christmas. I will be looking forward to seeing how much your trees and bushes have grown while we are gone. That is why I keep posting these photos, so we can look back from next year and the years after to see the difference, before, during, and after…

Bill Grimes is the manager of the Amazon Golf Course until some other qualified, trustworthy person that shares my vision or has a better vision wants the job.
