We moved to Mérida for a turnkey four-bedroom… and discovered the builder only planned three. In this episode we unpack building a house in Mexico—missed construction deadlines, a closing day with workers still on site, an unfinished roof that stalled our solar install, dust from a half-built community, and the reality of mañana time.
What we learned: how to read your contract like a hawk, what to ask your builder, why you must supervise, and how to stay sane when timelines “flex.”
