Finally, house pictures

When we started this project 3 years ago we had no idea what it would involve; we only knew that we loved being in San Miguel and we wanted a comfortable place to return to each time. We got what we wanted.

It is a 2 bedroom, 3 story home in the colonial style, with a garage for the Suzuki, in an out of the way neighborhood with a view of the city center and the lake and hills beyond. It began as a simple open-air 3 room house on two stories covering the entire lot. We first saw it with our friends, Anna and Milton, and we were a bit overwhelmed.  We brought our friend and a architectural "engineer", Alfredo, up to the highest point and asked him what he thought.  He said definitely and I am so glad he agreed to remodel it for us.  Just because he spoke no English and I had only some words in Spanish at the time didn't mean we couldn't make it work.

I would say we are about 2/3 through with it but basically it is finished. There are walls we want to paint and some more lighting fixtures to put up and a few more pieces of furniture we want. The stairwell glass covering still leaks. Good thing it is a tiny house!
