House Work

Since I last mentioned work on the house quite a bit has been done to make the place more livable. The downstairs bathroom is almost finished. Just a little more tile trim needs to be done and the fixtures are in place and working. There is only cold water but in this area, there is rarely a need for hot water. Most the downstairs light switches and plugs are installed. Ventilator fans with variable speed controls are in and working.

The main kitchen sink counter has been tiled and the sink installed. Denise wanted some religious icon tiles installed for decorations and this has been done. This is somewhat extravagant because these tiles cost as much as a maestro makes in two days.

As I write this a new balcony has been added, the rooftop platform for the water tank is complete, the water tank is hooked up and working, a dividing brick wall for plants has been finished and some of the concrete around the pool is done.

The house now has three resident geckos so it is really starting to feel like a Mexican home.
