Exterior stucco finish is complete:
The first coat inside has also been completed. We can't do the second coat until after the windows are installed:
Upper patio:
We needed to find someone to build a hand rail for the stairs. Our builder had a friend in a town several hours away who did iron work. We took a chance and gave him a crude drawing of what we wanted, all the while prepared for it to turn out badly. Much to our surprise, his work was flawless. It turned better than we could have hoped:
The little circle is the symbol that the weather service uses on weather charts, to indicate a tropical storm. Since our best waves come from tropical storms, maybe it will bring us good waves this year (but no storms too close, please).
We also had him make a little handrail for the outside deck. We liked it so much we are having him continue it further. The rest should be done sometime after the New Year.
Lots of windows and great views, but the down side is going to be the cost of installing hurricane protection.
