Week 24

We are starting to see the project wrap up now. Last week the team spent a few days on the outside of the house. They put new stucco on three of the four walls. Are original stucco was a cat face pattern and was the color Verde green. Fortunately we kept some of the original stucco from the original stucco project a few years ago. The team was able to match the color and now the house looks like it was never cut open.

Abraham was brought in to finish the floors. He finished staining the floors and applied two coats of lacquer. The floors look beautiful but we have to stay off of them for 3 more days.

After that, it is time to paint the remaining rooms in the house, install the floorboards, put the finishes on the plumbing, and install the electrical switches and outlets. We have selected the lights for the ceiling and we even found two special lights to be placed over the bed. These lights have a very narrow focus and will be perfect for reading by. The extra light switches and pieces for the AV system have all come in the mail. We are ready to roll.

Mario says our target date for moving in is Thanksgiving break. That's one week from today. We know the house will still be worked on after we move in. There is some work to do in the patio and around the side of the house, but we will be able to sleep indoors and take a shower inside of a building. We are so impressed with the quality of work!
