The house is just about finished.  Hard to believe the progress we have made in such a short time.

There is a shortage of lumber in Mexico (coming from the USA) as all stateside lumber is going to the gulf coast region.  Mexico has yet to see any stateside lumber.

The electrical work has been finished.  The roof decking is finished.  We need two more pieces of laminate for the roof, 4 pieces of sheetrock in the living room and need to finish the sheetrock on the bathroom.  Beyond that the house will be "finished."  The windows and doors will be installed later in the week and the new occupants will paint and stucco when they have the funds.

Anthony was scheduled to fly out Sunday morning from San Diego so Javier and I drove him Saturday night to stay with Arturo in SD.  We enjoyed having Anthony with us.  He debated his travel plans, at one time considering arriving on Sunday, he chose wisely.

On our way back from SD (we didn’t get back to Ensenada until 1AM) we saw a very impressive heat storm with spectacular lightning displays.  Did I mention it’s been hot here?  Hotter than I can remember.  Javier said it was the first heat storm he’d ever seen in Ensenada.  Later that morning around 3AM the thundershower began.  It hardly ever rains here so a big thundershower is quite the event.

We spent the morning with the church family and now everyone is enjoying a peaceful, restful afternoon.  There is a new Costco in Ensenada so we will probably go there tonight for ice-cream.

We will finish the house tomorrow and work on Tuesday at the church building.  We will be doing some prep work for next year.  They need classroom space and we will be preparing the patio area to be enclosed and made into a two story room.
