Today is a big day we officially now on the small Kay where the seaside Shack is.

To the kids and they shouldn't they find out the land also includes three other small Kay's that are next door all together the largest Kay with check on it it's 250 square meters or 750 square feet. The other three smaller areas are 50 square meters are 150 square feet the name of the paradise they children come up with they call it Paradise Cove! It is surrounded by a mangrove forest which is great because it will help with flooding and storms to protect their piece of paradise.. On all the islands there are coconut trees lime trees and banana trees it has green coconuts on all of the little Islands as well as small bananas and lime trees. Also on the major Island where the shack is there are two small rows of pineapple plants🍌🍌🍌🍍🍍🍍🌴🌴🌴

The kids decide to repair the shack are going to use the garbage and scrap that they find along the ocean or get assistance from the Salvage yard or the fishing Community or charter boat community.

The kids also decide to build to Water catchment Systems to collect freshwater for the plants as well as themselves they used to jugs that they received from Margaret's mother. They begin Gathering supplies from old records as well as from the junkyard the owner of the junkyard gives the children a compost toilet and tells them just to bury their waste and with the plants you can be used as fertilizer. LOL Whoever has to do that job and really stinks LOL!

The kids decide to take some old aluminum siding they find from a shrunken wreck and use it to repair the roof with assistance from some of the local charter boat captains the men come up with a eco-friendly way to build trusses and support for the roof they use bamboo poles to build the trusses to support the roof as well as bamboo poles race and bracket the roof eco-friendly way to keep the roof nice and strong. The men show the children many eco-friendly ways to repair the house using tools from nature

The men also helped raise the shack one and a half meters are 4 1/2 feet off the ground by using cinder blocks and strapping it down and driving spikes through the cinder blocks into the Bedrock they also help reinforce the walls. They use four cinder block post to help secure the roof and use the aluminum siding as the roof siding and make sure that it's down tightly on the inside of the shack they put two tarps to use as a ceiling

As the children are going up and down the beach they find 20 wooden crate pallets that they will used to repair the walls and also helped to make the water catchment systems. They also find some old gutter and rain spouts to use for the water catchment system

The children were there every free chance they get where they're doing their school work working on their Beach cleanup anything that they collect before they turn in for recycling they see if they can use it at the Paradise Cove Shack.. as the kids put it but I didn't have it go into the garbage we might as well reuse it recycle it and find other uses for

After six months go by and summer is fast approaching the check is nearing completion as well as both water catchment systems the rainwater will be collected in two separate areas the first area is where there are for 5 gallon water containers used for drinking water the other area is 4 3 gallon water containers which will be used to water the pineapple Garden as well as the line coconut and the banana trees the mangrove forest is also been cleaned up and is full of tiny fish the forest is healthy and booked full helping to keep the water back from the small islands with the kids love more and more.
