Stucco and a Visit to the Tile Store
and 21 December 02 Update
 

The ladies picked tile for their floors, bathroom and kitchen counter tops.  Two chose the upper color, and two picked the other.  I was surprised that they all went for the same pattern.

Full steam ahead on the stucco work.  The lumber that was used for the floor/roof forms now becomes scaffolding.

Manolo insisted that he did not need scaffolding to do the parapet.  That ledge is only about 15" wide.

This is a view from the street behind (north). 
 

The roof cap is complete and the sealing man should begin soon, probably after the holidays.
