Since I bought my own house on June 4, 2003 I have made countless improvements with still a few pending projects to complete.
I replaced all doors & locks, removed the interior ceiling and removed all electrical cabling.
A lot of trees were also cut in front of the house.
The apartment was first to be cleaned and prepared to move in, since the main house had to be rewired completely and the bathroom had to be redone completely.
Much time was spent on painting, cleaning, redoing before I could move into the apartment, but by August/September I could move in.
In the meanwhile work on the house was mostly electrical, which consisted of removing old cabling and removing copper pipes from inside the walls and from the ceiling, and digging new channels in the walls for additional electrical outlets. These were all dug with a Hilti machine over several weeks.

Swimming Events on Aruba
Aruba's swimming competitions are organized during the year by the Swimming Federation AZB (Arubaanse Zwembond).
There are 3 teams that participate in these events which are; The Aruba Dolphins, Stingray swim team, and the Orca's.
There are more teams that give swim lessons but do not have competitive swimming in their program, there is also a government sponsored school swim program for kids in 3rd grade.
There is one (1) Synchronized swimming team; the Barracuda's, and actually there is no active Waterpolo team.
All events are sanctioned by the AZB and have to comply with the rules of the FINA (Federation Internationale de Natacion). To ensure this there has to be enough qualified officials to run these events, and Certified FINA referees and starters.
Aruba has 2 FINA Referees and 1 FINA Starter, this is where I come into the picture.
I am one the FINA Referees and am on List #12 of International Referees.
In other posts I will go into more detail of swimming in Aruba
