October 5
We head up on a beautiful clear Saturday to discover a crew member hosing down the house!
And no hike today. Bella has injured a paw and is on medication. She will be fine but no hiking for the next 3 days. Sigh. It is so beautiful outside, too!

It is necessary to keep the stucco moist until it has time to set properly.
Once the second stucco layer has been completed, there will be a one-week wait before the elastomeric layer is added.

- First Layer, meet Second Layer.

- The other side of my bedroom has the second stucco layer.

- This side of the house (my bathroom, study, and the back of the garage) is all done.

- I really want to grab the scaffolding and pull it down so I can see the house better!

- I resist this urge, of course…

- Steve has built houses that are more daring than this one–I visited one that has gray and pink exterior walls…I wonder…
-
- No, this is a traditional Pueblo Revival and we need to stick to the plan!

- Still, this is a very cool color… 😉
Hi 🙂
It is understandable that you are a little impatient but will come the time when everything is done and you will be very happy with this beatiful house.
I hope Bella will be alright soon.
