We anticipate that by the end of this week the structure will be
finished with the second floor roof in place. This shows the almost finished upper walls for the master bedroom. The window on the corner looks in two directions. The bigger opening will have doors that will allow us to step out to the terrace (really the roof of the lower kitchen terrace).
Seemingly it is easy to plaster the walls before adding the roof (makes
sense – less mess to clean up as they slap on the plaster). On Saturday they put the ceiling beams in
place for the master bedroom as well as the concrete beams for the master bath
and dressing room.
On the upper floor you can see the little balcony off the
master bath. The cinder blocks will be
plastered. There will be a glass wall
extending left to right from the shower stall across the wall and to the
bathtub. Don’t worry, the neighbours
won’t be able to see a thing – not that I care.
May 3rd is Santa Cruz (cross) Day. Santa Cruz is the patron saint of
workers. On ever construction site in
Mexico, big and small, they put up a cross or crosses. In the city these are sometimes gigantic
crosses atop larger construction projects.
Traditionally the building owners provide a lunch for the workers on this
day with some tacos, tortillas and beers.
We also did this but unfortunately were not able to join them for the
celebration so no shots of them enjoying their meal.
