Casa Update 12

All,

Well, we got the tile and they did not come! We submitted another punch list and they did not come. Then, on Friday, did they come! plumbers, electricians, and the laborers to work on the BBQ. Electricians drilled 2 new holes for additional undercounter lights, said they were going to lunch and never returned. Plumbers fixed the minor stuff and left, leaving the guestroom bath shower still leaking. Our laborers kept plunking away at the BBQ. Have 3 shots of their progress. We cleaned out the garage yesterday. Got all of the boxes that have to be opened, opened. All the rest are neatly stuffed against the walls. Went out for breakfast today. Great breakfast with coffee and Regina had fresh OJ and it came to 125 pesos. Nice. Regina's friend Margaret came by this afternoon and they attacked the dining room. I have the Celtic Cross to hang along with Regina's Grandmothers quilt and that room will be done. Pictures included. Tomorrow we head down to pay for our utility hookup (even though they are no way close) to assure us a place on the list (and get a ranch provided generator). My best birthday present was to see someone dropping off the main electrical underground vaults along our main road. They went from block 16 to block 28. We are block 35, progress! After the carpenter fixes the mess that the electrician made putting in the lights, I will take a shot of the kitchen. We broke out the short sleeve shirts for the past 2 days, supposed to get colder tomorrow. Was nice while it lasted....

Larry and Regina

p.s.

Failed the HOA final inspection with 2 dings, Debris in the common area and no rear wall, duh they lost our lot markers installing the septic tank and we can't put in the rear wall until they come out and survey again. Viva Mexico!
