Construction Continues!

Peggy in in the US now and has the camera, so I can't post new photos. Besides, I don't know how! But, here's an update on construction. The vestibule is done except for the tile on the floor. Pulpo poured the floor this morning. Senior Rigo, the wrought, man, delivered the protectora door (wrought iron bar door). We had previously told him what we wanted and since our Spanish is lacking, we always wonder if he understood. We try to draw things out, but it's like playing Pictionary! Then, we worry about the final outcome. But, as is usual, what we didn't communicate he figured out. The door is perfect and he's installing it now. Sometimes I can watch, sometimes not. His welder is ancient and he connects it directly to the fuse box. Sparks fly! He jumps back. And.... it's working! Zap. Zap. And he's done. More importantly, he's still alive! He's the man making our stairway and there's been lots and lots of discussion between us about it. Again, does he understand us? But, it'll work out. Usually does down here. It's all part of the fun.
