PUERTAS Y VENTANAS DE LUIS

Luis, the blacksmith, has made all our doors and windows--a lot of them.  And, unlike many here, they have screens (except for the ones in the front of the house--not allowed by the historical accuracy police):


Starting at the back of the house, here is the door for the storage space under the stairs:


The back door to the dining room seen from the patio:


From the inside:


The dining room window from the outside:


And from the inside:


The kitchen door from the outside:


And from the inside:


The guest bathroom door:


This door presented a problem.  Luis didn't want to put a screened window in it, but el sr J insisted that a screen was necessary for ventilation.  So instead of a pushrod to open the upper window, which might put someone's eye out, the screen is in a hinged frame that opens to the inside, and the awning window pushes out:



You may remember the "mother of all doors" that Luis made for us first.
From the patio:



From the inside, which is the back room of the main part of the house.  We don't know what we're using this room for yet:



The front door is not installed yet.  It arrived Saturday:


The front window is hiding panelessly in back of the door:


The grille for in front of the window is behind all the ladders in the front room:


The grille for the door is installed:


As you can see, the men have started to scrape the front of the house.  One more week?
