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:

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?
