Thanks for the reply Peter,
Is it the kind of thing I can get started when I'm down in December or is it better if I'm around to keep things going? I'll only be down for about 10 days this trip probably a month the next time. Is guano the palm that's endangered or some other type of leaf? Guano to me means bat shit and I don't think that's what you did your roof in- but maybe it would keep mosquitos away. I do think I would buy the posts/poles. Is that sort of thing secure at Sacbe if left on the property?

Delays are mostly about money. As soon as you give them an advance to buy equipment or material they tend to use the money for other and īmore urgentī purposes. But without the anticipio they can not continue, so what to do....
The other thing was the hardwood. Collecting it in the woods (fallen trunks), or buying them will either set you back moneywise or timewise. It is a lot of work to log a 5 meter hardwood trunk across junglegrond.
By the way, some people say that quano is in very short supply so you should use zacatte, which of course is more expensive, but will last you longer.
Good luck.
