Its been a month since we last looked at the new house. In fact, it has been five months since we began watching this house last September. Having taken five months to get this far, I doubt if the house will be ready earlier than next September..
All the work being done now is on the walls, both inside and out. The same crew does all the finishing work, though the number in the crew seems to vary between three and six. As far as I can tell, the interior and exterior walls are finished with
the same material. In an earlier post, I described how the cement (its not plaster) is mixed. Its brought to the application men by the bucket. One man applies the cement, another spreads sand on it, and 
a third uses a wet brush to smooth it out.
The three “regulars” know me by sight, and always wave and yell as I go by on my môto. I need to repay their hospitality by giving them some prints of the photos I’ve taken. One lady in particular
has taken an interest in my visits. She loves to have her picture taken. And, with a face like hers, I love taking it.
