In only one day, half of the house has been covered with the first stucco layer.

These guys are moving fast! Steve estimates three weeks to complete the stucco project, but it looks like they are making speedier headway to me! We shall see.

- Becoming monumental!
- Grooves are raked in to help the next layer adhere
- Every inch is covered
- Working on the area above the garage door
- A lot has been done!
- The back of the garage
- Think of everything that is under this layer of stucco!
- My bathroom and bedroom exterior walls are done
- So now, on to the back of the house (living room, guest rooms, etc.)
- Bella and Niles are chasing lizards, as usual
- OMG. Texas-sized!
- In progress…
- This is the rake
- And this is the rake in action!
personal
Just so you know: I am acclimated now. It took a long time, but I no longer have to stop to catch my breath when we are hiking, even uphill. Of course, I still cannot keep up with Bella and Niles, but that is a different story… š
- I love seeing the moon in the blue blue sky
- The mesquite tree turned into a lush oasis of shade over the summer
- It is warm today, so the shade is appreciated
- Remember how bare it was? It will soon lose its leaves again…
- The sotols seem to be trying to tell us something…yes, you deserve an A for all of your beauty this summer, Sotols!
