Oh.. I'd wear myself Out..building a open glass house with water features running through it.. And plants built in everywhere... with a low humidity closet.. I
I'd need a small staff....my own bulldozer / crane .... I think I'll start by making myself a machete..


LOL!! I could use that low humidity closet about now, I'm so over the humidity and so ready for the dry, sunny days of winter. It's funny but most people from northern climates talk a lot about letting light into the house, big windows streaming in light. If you live in the tropics you start to appreciate the value of SHADE, thick walls, dim interiors that are cool and fresh. Trust me on this, you don't want a glass house in the tropics, you would be living in an oven.

You definitely should have a machete, it is almost a law here that every man has a machete. They even make them small so the young boys can have their own too. It would give a US teacher an attack to see these kids of 8 and 9yo out cutting the grass with an extremely sharp machete.
A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.
