Update on our house :: Novedades con nuestra casa








Ultimamente no hemos hecho mucho con los arreglos de la casa, hemos tenido visitas y nos hemos dedicado a disfrutar a la familia y amigos que han venido por aqui. Dos semanas pasadas Nuri comenzo de a poquito en remodelar el baño de abajo, o el baño para visitas, justo cuando comenzo Ian le dio una mano. Queria tratar de terminarlo para fin de este mes, pero siempre hay que hacer y a veces el tiempo no alcanza. Aqui van algunas fotos de los adelantos hasta ahora: Nuri puso la pared, pero luego tuvo que mover algunos de los pilares para aseguarse que el espejo/tocador entre dentro de la pared, primero pensamos en dejarlo fuera, pero una vez estudiando el caso vimos que dentro de la pared queda mas elegante y el lustre resaltara mas. Nuri ha pasado varios dias poniendo estuco y lijando y parece que finalmente hoy estara listo para ser pintado... solo falta que seque y necesitara una lijada mas. En cuanto a la otra pared que necesita trabajo, no quedara otra que encajonar el hinodoro y poner material aislante en el resto de la pared de concreto. Se va a ver muy bonito, pero implicara trabajo. ;)

Lately we haven't done much with the house's improvements, we had guests over so we have been enjoying their company. Two weeks ago Nuri started little by little to fix the bathroom downstairs, the one for guests, actually Ian was around to give him a hand. He really wanted to finish by the end of this month, but there is always things to do and not enough time to do all. So here are few pictures of the advance so far: Nuri placed a wall, then he had to remove some of the 2x4s so the medicine cabinet could be recessed; first we thought to just put it out, but after studying the case if it was recessed it would surely look more elegant and the light fixture will also be nicer. Nuri has spent many days mudding the wall and sanding it, until finally today we think it might be ready to be painted... we just need it to dry once more and be sanded. Now regarding the other wall that needs work, we will need to frame the toilet seat and put insulation in that concrete wall. It will look veeery pretty, but its still lots of work ;)
