Remodel update #5

We were so pleasantly surprised tonight by what we saw when we stopped by the apartment to drop off a few things that we received today from Amazon.MX. The bathrooms are close to being finished; the handicapped bathroom door has been hung; the thick glass block wall is almost done in there as well; both vanities have been built, and ours installed, with our sink.

I just knew Martín was building stuff; I just did not know what. Here are some photos to show you how things have progressed, just since Monday. Luis said the other day that the cabinets and countertops should be ready next week for the kitchen. You will be the next to know.

The sliding door to the first bathroom. The door was widened about 6” to accommodate a wheelchair. Everything inside will be wheelchair accessible as well.
The glass wall in the shower is for privacy. We will put either a glass door or a shower curtain to close it up, again, for privacy.
This is the vanity that is going in this bathroom, in the corner, as you first come in. These two gentlemen are part of the team working with Luis, and Martín to remodel.
Here is our new”floating” vanity and sink. The blue is protective covering. It just needs handles.
Here it is from the other side. Martíns own design for us.

In the photo, up above, with the two guys on the team? They had placed a large cardboard piece over the vanity, and were eating their dinner. When they started to remove it, (I thought they were trying to be polite), I told them that we did not mean to disturb their dinner. They smiled, all the while knowing what was under the cardboard! Needless to say, I squealed like a like girl.

I have seen plenty of very pretty vanities in the past few weeks, but to have something like these two, made by hand, just for us… it was unbelievable! They are both just exactly what we hoped for.

Well, that is it for today’s update. I hope you are enjoying the transformation as much as we are. He project should be finished in the next few weeks, and I will show you everything as it comes to completion.
