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.
It’s been a while since there’s been an update here.
The crew has been painting and tiling inside the unit. The upstairs bathroom is approaching completion.
Meanwhile, we’ve been doing further revisions of the front yard. I had to move some slate from under the concrete bench, which would have been impossible without judicious application of leverage and use of a jack. We added an archway over the bench for roses and morning glory to grow onto, and moved the mad bird feeding rig more than a squirrel’s leap from the new arch.
The crew was working on Saturday too, so today’s the first time I’ve got an updated view of the stucco.
Meanwhile, the sprinklers up front were not working correctly. I’m no Hercule Poirot, but I was able to get to the cause of the problem. And fix it.
