Casa Update 4

All,

We just got back from San Felipe Saturday. Got a PO box, finalized the furniture storage, got insurance on the truck, got a cell phone, got a place to stay and bought all of the appliances on the way home. Here is what we saw. Fewer pictures but more details. We settled the missing wall and there is a picture of it (it if you can find it) and the shower/tub issue. They primed the outside with white and primed the inside with a pink, go figure. All of the other colors are what we picked out including out really blue laundry room. Have a new address and a Cell phone. We will send out a formal change of address but here is how to reach us after November 5th in the meantime:

Casa Update 2

All,

We just got back from a week in San Felipe. Was a productive week with their new customer service person. They now have 52 houses under construction. That is up from the 24 they were doing when we started. Lupe is going back to making things happen and Sabina (an American) is going to handle communications. We will miss talking to Lupe but Sabina is very much more organized (and writes things down). They are fixing 3 issues. The first, they still put the water heater on the wall diagonal to where is should be. Second, they forgot to put the closet in the office (will double as a 3rd bedroom). And finally, we want a tub/shower in the guest bath. There was no problem till this trip. They enclosed 3/4 of it with a 6 inch concrete block wall. Then put in a 6 inch threshold for the rest. Looks like a shower to me. The tile guy is treating it as a shower, the plumber is plumbing it as a tub/shower, and Lupe is saying "no problem." I love Mexico.

File is a little larger this time but you need to see the detail.

Enjoy, we are!!

P.S. We love the courtyard gate. And, we just sent them an example of the grill style. But Lupe knew the name of the house (Casa Del Viñedo). Cool!

Casa Update 1

All,

Here is Lupe's latest pictures. Nice new camera (1024x768). From this point on is when it slows down. They have the bulk of our money (92.5%) and it is all finish work now. We will have to keep on them from now on. We have paint colors to pick out, fixtures and fans, plus designing the BBQ. Love the grout color, brighter than I expected. As usual, unedited. Enjoy...

Larry
