St Barts Renovation:
Anguilla Construction:
|
This is the web site for the three villas that I built on Anguilla and the villa that I am
renovating in St Barts (see Azu Villa Renovation Page), plus
tropical construction tips and resources as well. These construction projects started in 1997, although
land acquisition and architectural planning started in 1995. Every stage of the construction is recorded here.
We rent the villa in St Barts and the guest cottage in Anguilla (La Vanda)
and the villa at the top of the Anguilla property (Mimosa), but we
keep the beachfront house and pool for our own use. And we
have created a name and web page for the overall completed property:
Bellamare
For details on the main Anguilla beachfront house, visit the Residence Construction Page.
For the technology center,
visit the "Clubhouse" Construction Page.
And finally, for the guest cottage, our first attempt at construction on Anguilla,
visit the La Vanda Construction Page.

Plastic Septic Tanks
Karen Rasmussen writes:
"Your site is very interesting and informative. I am planning on building a small cottage on St. John and am struggling with the cistern and septic tank issue. Do you have any recommendations for either, what works well and is not horribly
expensive."
Answer:
There are plastic septic tanks for sale. They are cheaper then making concrete ones. You can use the septic tank for a cistern too- we did in Canada but usually the tank is built into the deck. If you have gound you can dig then burying is an option, if not then build it in. When you build it, I wouldn't use block - it's cheaper but prone to leaks.
Good luck
