Done

We have been notified that our home is complete.  Now we are working on getting it inspected and jumping through those hoops, as well as getting the furniture moved in and all the housewares, etc.  And by "we" I mean Damian, who has done everything related to this house.  Except the blog.  That's all me.

We have more pictures of our finished home. Very exciting!

Our courtyard.  The little door is to a storage unit under the stairs.  The entrance to the house (not shown) is directly to the right.
 
Bedroom on the first/ground floor 
  
View of the kitchen.  I just love the extra window we added shown on the right side. I'm happy we went with black appliances.  
  
Our deck under the pergola.  The stairs lead up to the viewing tower. Second floor bedroom is the room behind the wall.
  
  
Second floor bedroom.  Those doors lead out to the Juliet Balcony shown in the bottom picture.
  
 Second floor bathroom
  
Viewing tower looking at the mountain view.  You can also see one of the posadas to the right.
 


Exterior of the house.  Good view of the viewing tower and the Juliet Balcony.

Almost there

We have some new pictures. It looks like our little casa is pretty darn close to being done! I am very happy with the cabinets we chose, as well as the stain. And the tiling looks really good from what little I can see. Regarding the color, D said it looks really red on his computer; on mine, it looks really orangey. As long as they used the same color of red they used for the other red ones I have seen down there, I'm very happy with the color.

A view of our house if you were standing in the courtyard
It looks like they have not painted the house to the left of us, so it looks a bit sloppy at the moment


The stairs leading up to the second floor - the front door is directly to the right (not shown)



A view of the kitchen. The window on the right wall is the one we added. You can see the outside of that window in the first picture above.



Bathroom on the first floor



Our pergola (the wooden structure) on our deck. The stairs lead up to the viewing tower. The entrance to the bedroom on the second floor is behind the stairs. The stairs leading down to the first floor are also behind the stairs.
