Home Construction Week 31
January 1-7, 2007

Happy New Years to everyone. Here in Morelia it is the dry season. Everything is brown or yellow. Much like California in the summer. The weather is nice during the day when the sun is out, in the 70's. It gets cool when the sun goes down in the evening and the coldest part of the day is around 5 or 6 in the mourning. I think its usually in the 40's, but sometimes there is a little frost in the shady areas. Sandra and I are getting really excited to move into the house. We don't even care if it's finished. As long as windows and exterior doors are in, we want to move in. We have told Architect Arturo to get out master bedroom finished as soon as possible. We are prepared to take as long as we need to finish the rest of the house.

The photo above shows the arch where there will be a water fountain. There will be three vases of different sizes that will have water cascading down their sides into a small basin at the bottom. To the right of the arch you can see three color samples. We are thinking of using shades of this color for the exterior of the house. Most of the house will be a very light shade with accents of the darker tones. The photo below shows the samples in closer detail.
The photo below shows the beginning of the marble covering on the fireplace in the living room. This same marble will be used to highlight portions of the exterior walls in the front of the house.
This photo shows the fireplace in the master bedroom. The tile has been laid in the master bedroom and the walk-in closet. Now the only room needing tile is the master bathroom and part of the entry. Our goal is to be in the house before February 12th. Cross your fingers for us.
