Casa Update 11

Well, you are probably wondering how we are doing. It has been 2 weeks without pictures. Well, we have slowed down to a crawl. No changes on the house so no pictures are necessary. A lot of boxes have been broken down and moved to the garage. We had no workers here during the holidays except for the laborers working on the BBQ. They started the Thursday after Christmas. We just got the tile today so I expect that they will be back tomorrow. We have our HOA inspection tomorrow to confirm we built to plans. If that goes well, we can apply for our real generator with the developer. The current monster eats 3 liters of propane an hour at 5 Pesos per liter. It is up to you to do the math. I finally broke down today and went searching for a can of WD40. All of the doors have started to squeak terribly (dust?). Walking around at night had become unbearable. Found a can and all is good now. The propane refrigerator has become a life saver, as a last minute thought. Looks like about a 15-18 cu foot model but we have it cram packed with perishables. We keep the stuff that needs to be cool in the real frig that stays on only about 6 hours a day. Watching are the OSU-LSU debacle in HD though. Love technology. We have Satellite Internet and TV when we have power. Otherwise I have started reading again!! Still about 20 years behind in reading, but starting to catch up slowly. If they show up tomorrow to tile the BBQ, we will have pictures this weekend.

Love to all!
