Terminando....Finishing touches

Good evening world! This week we kicked off saying farewell to Rosae and Michelle (Gracias guys!!!!), and welcoming Miguel, Emily and Ines. Our work continues at Manuel and Rosaura's house...if I had to sum up this week, I would say, we are soooo close and yet so far....to be quite honest, this has been a bit of a frustrating week. We are having difficulties getting our rendering guy mainly because there is a lot of work for renderers here and our guy is very much in demand.....but, I am determined to get a renderer tomorrow so we can move forward and finish the house.

Rosae, Abel, Roger, Michelle, Miguel, Andy, Alexander, y Lorenzo at lunch time.
