The picture above is for mom. While looking at our house today we saw this red bird in a tree. I don't think its a Cardinal like you have in Ft. Worth because it doesn't have a crown on top of its head. It is a beautiful bird though and I thought you would like to see it. Maybe it's in one of your bird identification books? Click on the photo to enlarge it.
The photos above and below show the kitchen and dining room tile beginning to be laid down. The tile is a light almond color and we think it is going to look very nice.
This photo below shows the progress on the fireplace in the living room. The fireplace is going to be covered with a beige marble stone. There will be a wood finishing on the top near the ceiling and on the hearth.
The workers started painting a white primer over the stucco. So far only a little on the top has been finished. Then we need to decide on colors for the exterior walls. The roof is finished and I think it only needs a coating of waterproofing finish.
Below shows Sandra peering out of our master bedroom. The two windows to the left are actually in the bedroom, while the window she is looking out is on the terrace. We have a southern exposure for the bedroom so we should have sunshine for most all of the day. It will help us stay toasty warm during the winter. Mexican houses don't have heating systems, so the sun must provide the heat during the winter. The rest of the year is warm so no extra heat is needed.
The final photo below shows the house from the back garden and not much is different from last week. Next posting should have all this side painted.

OK, is it just a little sad that I got really excited about the house being primed for painting? And I was happy that the workmanship on the floor tiles looks so exceptional? I'm becoming very invested in the progess of a stranger's new home (lol). It looks great and I'm totally envious of you.

WOW, I can't believe how beautiful your home is. The views are spectacular and the master bath is a dream. I think there will need to be a schedule made for all the visitors you will be having.

Your "red bird" is a male Vermilion Flycatcher, a common bird from the American southwest to South America. A beautiful bird nonetheless!
