The backyard pavers have been placed back. We’ll need to replant the moss between them, and make sure it gets some water from the sprinklers (but not too much!).

There will likely be some further sprinkler work in the back for the citrus too.

The scaffolding’s gone, and more finishing has taken place. We now have a doorknob on the door! No more fiddling with a temporary plastic catch.

The color really looks different depending on the angle of the light.

More floor work has been completed, and the stairs have had the hardwood added.

The first coats of exterior paint have been added. It’s a glorious, saturated purple, which contrasts the roses and flowers. Depending on the angle and the lighting, the color goes from nearly black to a royal purple.

The installation of flooring has begun!

Final stuccoing took place today, and the painting of the inside continues.
