The upside of the fact that it took so long to get the tour assembled and posted is that some visible progress has been made! As Picture 1 shows, the stucco is now done on most of the house and the scaffolding is down so the house is now truly visible again. We think that the masons really did a great job. There are still a few small bits to do on the house and, as you can see in Picture 1 the scaffolding is still up on the garage\/apartment because there is more of that still to do. But we are thrilled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picture 2 and 3 provide a closer look at the house with the stucco done and the scaffolding down. One thing that still looks wrong are the exposed wood beams on the edges of the overhangs. These soon will be covered with metal matching the window frames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picture 3 – View of the house from the east. Finally, you can really see the wonderful lines created by the windows, the roof overhangs, the setback second floor, and the different height roofs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There has also be some work in the house. Picture 4 shows the metal lathe applied to the inside of one of the shower stalls. Picture 5 shows the “scratch” coat of cement, applied over the lathe; this will provide the foundation for the tile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, as Picture 6 shows, they also began the grading for the backyard garden terraces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picture 6 – Today they began the grading for the mortarless walls that will terrace the backyard. To start, they needed to clear out the existing vegetation — including this epic battle: small machine versus huge stump.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
