Expat Family in Cuenca Ecuador Builds Furniture and Saves Thousands!

http://www.livingfrugalandhappy.blogspot.com/ It's expensive to furnish a home or apartment when you first come to Cuenca. We found a work around that expense-we built our own! We have built 2 couches and a dinner table with two benches, bed frames, and a kitchen island and a patio picnic table so far. "How to" videos coming soon on how to save money and make your own furniture instead.

I love the furniture! Your blogs are interesting--looking forward to other perspectives on Cuenca!!!  I am looking forward to retiring within the next 1-1/2 yrs. I fell in love with Mexico some years ago while on a missionary trip. Your vids on Cuenca remind me of my trip, and have caused me to broaden my Mexico/South American scope for retiring.
