It started with the purchase of 11 acres of rural land in Yotala, 25 mins from the Unesco World Heritage Site of the city of Sucre, Bolivia. 3 years later we opened as a small boutique hotel to recoup our investment, gaining top ratings locally and nationally. 4 years later we closed and reclaimed Sky Hacienda as our home. The creation of a development of plots of land in the grounds now gives our buyers the same all-year-round temperate climate and amazing views we enjoy. www.skyhacienda.com

THE PORCH
Our volunteer Sky helped Ed start the porch structure.
We used eucalyptus beams that were embedded into our thick adobe walls.
Ed installed the steel panels that would provide shade and keep the rain off.
Here is a view looking up from the top of the steps along the roof.
Ed applied a couple of coats of white paint to reflect the intense sun off the steel roof.
The walls were lime rendered and lime washed. Our desire to create a simple porch area with clean lines had been achieved. And we had our front door installed at last.
