    Lane,

    Once again, I must recommend to you Tom Will as an American engineer living in Roatan and running a few businesses there, one being a construction company. He works with several locals and they do a great job on their work. They give a fair estimate and stick with the estimate. So you don't have surprise fees as the job goes along. I have used him and can't say enough good things about him and his workers. After dealing with construction needs at a place in Roatan for around 13 years, I am so delighted to have found Tom. Contact him at tjwill.....com.

    You must be my neighbor. Where is your new place located?

    Honestly,
    Judy Wright
