I think you did the right thing paying the man even when his work was not what you wanted. That is the admirable thing to do. But first allowing him to at least try and correct it was also good. He might take pride in his work and giving him the chance to feel good about what he's done, so he can be proud in front of his children and family, is a good thing. I admire your patience and kindness.
Thank you my friend! Cheers and blessings!
Nature, and I am so happy you were back to your roots. Soy de Nicaragua y espero volved algún día. Stay humble and keep up the great job.
gracias saludos y bendiciones!
Thank you, for presenting the beauty of Nicaragua and the coffee cultivation . Good luck in yours project's, God bless you and all your family.
Thank you my friend! God Bless you!
I live in Canada right now but I'm looking to move. I have been looking at Central America because it is relatively close to Canada. I started looking at Costa Rica but changed my mind after hearing about how the crime rate and cost of living has risen. I am now looking at Nicaragua and can't wait to come explore. Thanks for your videos. Love them.
Nice! Good luck on the hunt! My advice is to travel to Nicaragua and spend some time discovering the cities before committing to buy. Cheers!
Viva Nicaragua!!
Viva!
Hay man appreciate the hard work to show us your beautiful vlogs keep up the good work
Hey! Thank you so much. Blessings!
So exciting! What most of your viewers need to understand is that the farm is two hours up on the mountains from a city large enough to find skilled labor. Since most don't own a truck, that becomes a large challenge for you too. In the expat communities where I live, finding skilled workers or even a general contractor is much easier. Still, a year plus to build a home is not uncommon here. The house is going to be amazing when it's finished. Such a beautiful place with spectacular views!
What are you going to do for power? Solar? Galvanized is good. I hope they spray painted the welds to prevent them from rusting. Have you considered screening in the deck/patio? Mine is and let me tell you it's a nice touch in mosquito season,. Can't wait for the house warming party.
Thanks Brett! We did spray paint the welds. I want to go solar, I am emailing company's to see if they want to work with me as a sponsor. I am hopeful I can find a partner! Cheers
Funny story about wood - Back in 2004/2005, when I was a real noob, I asked an extended family member why so few homes were made of wood, so many was cement blocks.
He turned and said to my with a wry smile "Wood does not stop bullits" - I still laugh, and fear, that statement to this day.
We put Alumax sheets on the roof of our house after reading up on it...
haha good story!
Hi Elton, your house is going to be amazing! I'm enjoying your videos immensely 😊
After alot of research, Nicaragua is at the top of my list. I'm planning my first trip for the beginning of 2025.
Hi Jay! Thank you! Cheers, I hope you have a good visit!
Thanks brother for share this new project God bless you 🙏
Cheers!
Great video, thank you for sharing your journey. The natural world looks amazing, I can picture those big canopy trees, llenos de chocoyos.
I would love to move to the south of Brazil.
Cheers brother, ☕️
Thank you cheers brotha!
Support this man people !!!!
Thanks brotha!
Another interesting video, thank you!
I’m in Canada at the moment, however, I lived in the DR for 14 years and would love to go back soon and do something along the same lines as you.
Great choice on material but it is just galvanized steel, not Aluminum. You don't have to galvanize aluminum. I am using the same material to build mobile chicken coops on our farm in San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua.
Hi! Emense i have been following your channel I like your content
I seen my self on your experience.
Is like my dream own a farm in Nicaragua and be busy doing something
I have been living in the states and travel very obtén to Nica
Yeah you guess it .. I’m from Matagalpa.
And yeah I run on the situation about construction when I build commercial space to rent
The solution for that is you (owner ) have to be supervising the project.
Nices videos keep up.
Saludos...
I feel you. We bought a nice huge properly in ticuantepe on la concha never live in it . And is now up for sale since my dad passed away 3 yrs ago and i have no relatives in Nicaragua so there's no point of Us keeping that property . Is a 6bd 3ba huge backyard witj many frutal trees and view to the cordillera and nice terrace to sit and sip coffee watching the beautiful sunset. Very nice refreshing climate. But we pay $100 a month to a house keeper and when it comes to minor repairs due to no vacancy of the property we found this neighbor guy that knows the job ans have the skills but takes for ever to get the job done and its frustrating. I just pray we could sell that property ASAP. I can send you info and pictures if you know of anyone interested.
Thank you for your time.
By the way greetings from Santa clara ( silicon valley California) .
Hi! thanks for sharing. Send it over to emensecoffeemovement@gmail.com
What a beautiful farm you have. You are an inspiration for all of us who want to move back. My family farm is in Chinandega.
Thank you my friend cheers!
love the videos keep them coming, Nicaragua is my choice been there once plan on returning .
Thanks my brotha! Cheers
Moved to Nicaragua. But if looking at other options... Guatemala, Spain, Italy or Romania would be top choices.
Good options
Guatemala is not cheap my daughter in law parents are from there and she Said is becoming expensive. Also security wise is not as Nicaragua is. Now Spain and Europe is getting chaotic with all those massive immigration from ppl of Nigeria, Latin America etc.
Beautiful video, future and human goals! Gracias!
Gracias 🙏
Wow! Amazing!
Looking forward to the next update on your casa. You may want to remind your contractors that good work advertised today, will mean great referrals for work going forward.
True true amigo! Cheers!
Thank you for planting those trees! We need them for the rains!
Saludos hermano!

@@therehastobesomethingmoore Thank you familia! Cheers!
Hey, hi, you doing bro congratulations on your project, and I'm pretty sure that you don't need AC there 🤭 God bless 🙌
Hi Pedro, thanks man! Cheers and blessings!
I have a couple countries in Central America on my short list. Nicaragua is a top candidate and its lower cost of living is very attractive. There is also a lot of potential for growth, not overrun and I love that.
🙌
Great video Sir. We had some similar challenges with our house in Popoyo.
Hard to find a good, knowledgeable builder. We finally did and he worked a few miracles cleaning up some messes from previous guys.
We really enjoy watching your progress. Keep up the great work. Your family farm is coming back to life.
I am happy you found someone to finish the project! Thank you my friends. Cheers!
Im girl From Poland and l am also that jobless friend who you see day drinking at 1 pm, but lately I think about become even MORE jobless friend. Living off-grid, permaculture, own energy and water and food thats way to go. Chat gpt told me that Nikaragua is perfect for it and have very cheap lands and build house there is also very cheap. Happy that alghoritm do GREAT FUCKING job showing me your Channel. Greeting.
Hey! I am happy you found the channel! I hope you find it useful. Are you coming to Nicaragua!?
@@EmenseCoffee I think about it, I get paid in PLN and tickets are expensive, so yeah but maybe next year :')
@@zuzannaurbanska8439 nice! Nica will be waiting!
@@EmenseCoffee BTW, do you know any good websites where people sell lands?
Bendiciones from Tipi Tapa, we talked last year on video! We made it over here and never returned
I remember! Cheers familia!
Blessing for your new home, felicidades 👍👍
Blessings amigo!
@@EmenseCoffee Gracias y exitos!!
Very nice tour. BTW: it's very expensive in America to build anything and the workmanship is poor... As far as an American moving to another country: Mexico is easy, still cheap in some places and the 6 month visa is easy, too. My dogs don't need a health certificate or anything special to cross the border. So Mexico is very attractive.
Nicaragua beats all other countries for its cost of living. So I would seriously consider Nicaragua. And I am planning on a visit next year.
Alll good points my amigo! Mexico is awesome I love it!
Hi Elton, where are you located? Matagalapa?
I am in Nicaragua too, we grow ginger and turmeric.
Hey! I am up north in Nueva Segovia. A Ginger farm that sounds awesome!
Me crié en el before!!! 🙌🥹🥹🥹💕💕💕
Gracias, such joy, from a video…yes…..moving away from US…no puedo más!
Will be ordering coffee, my kids love coffee! Hahahah
Great video, shared…….gracias 🙏💕🕊️
I would love to live in Colombia ☕️
Colombia is awesome!
Muy buen video saludos 👌
Gracias!
I would love to retire in Popoyo 🤙🏾🏄🏽♂️
Popoyo is awesome!
Donde vibes? Or at least a hint! Hahahahah I understand safety. Estaré en la NICA a fines de verano. Would love to visit and bring a gift! Baby?
🙏🕊️💕 ☕️
De donde estás viendo los vídeo!? Saludos!
Saludos de Los Angeles, donde puedo comprar tu cafe en US y Esteli por favor , Gracias .
Saludos mi amigo! En la USA lo compra en linea. emensecoffee.com
En Nicaragua todavia no lo vendo!
@@EmenseCoffee Muchas Gracias ! y soyyy Mujer 😅.. lo compare pronto y tambien estoy por regresar 🙌
Saludos emense, que grosor tienes esos postes que colocaste en las bases de concreto? Se ven un poco delgados para ser los pilares principales de la construcción, y otra pregunta seria porque no usaste hierro y concreto para los pilares o colimnas principales?
Hola amigo, usamos hierro para hacer las zapatas de concreto tiene un metro de profundidad, este bien socado todo
@@EmenseCoffee excelente espero que así sea, saludos y que todo siga bien en tu construcción y quede expectacular! 👍
I would like to move there and try it, however, I would like to buy a land and build my own house.
How do you find an architect to make sure they do things right? Is this a good idea or a contractor would do?
What is the process of the paperwork when buying a land or house over there as far as finding an honest attorney and people involved?
How can you buy directly from the owner instead of going through a realtor?
When you left CA, did you bring your stuff with you or did you sell everything and came with nothing? I live in CA as well.
Did you bring your vehicle or did you buy one in Nicaragua?
I know, I have so many questions but it’s getting so expensive over here that I’m keeping me options opened. Thank you in advance for your answers.
What a chump! He never introduces his wife.
Hi Elton, where are you located? Matagalapa?
I am in Nicaragua too, we grow ginger and turmeric.
