November 1st we are scheduled to have the photographer come to shoot “Arriba de la Roca” for our web site. We should be all settled in, living on top, by the time of this photography session. Besides all the predictable fixing of the paint, cleaning up, poofing and fluffing of the place, we still have:
No solar...it missed the shipment down from San Diego on Friday so we will have to wait a week. Estimated arrival...November 1st. Estimated time to install the system is one week.
No kitchen...they were to begin installation on October 15th...no call, no show. He has now committed to Monday the 25th. BTW, if WE would not have been ready for the installation we would have had to pay a penalty. It was in the contract. They did not think to put the reverse scenario in writing.
No outside doors. All the bathroom doors are installed but we wanted mesquite entry doors and the wood got tied up in customs so they are delayed. Hopefully this week.
No glass in all the door frames around our main room. They say in two weeks they will be finished with all the window installation. Two weeks means the last few days of the week of November 1st.
No path for the Kawasaki Mule. They tore out the old one, just around the curve that hindered the Mule’s climb up the baby camino. They then figured it would still not work if they rebuilt it, so there it sits. No solution. No wall. A mess. I think we have to tear out some of our beautiful flagstone steps to make it work.
No plumbing connections. Isn’t that sh*tty!!!
Two storage units full of stuff to unpack.
THINGS TO DO NEXT WEEK…
Change the date of the photography session.

Oh Shelby! I am so sorry for your delays...but this too shall pass! Arriba de la Roca WILL GET DONE! Maybe not on your time, but on BAJA time! I can just imagine the beauty of it all coming together! Have you moved any furnishings to the top yet? (So glad you posted...I was starting to bite my nails!) Love you! Laurie
