Algodon Mansion Update!

Gerhard Heusch's recent email to me regarding Algodon Mansion’s construction was enlightening and exciting. Here’s a brief summary of the latest accomplishments; the marble in the bathrooms and dressing rooms are almost complete; all of the kitchen equipment has been delivered and has been positioned. Diego Coll Benegas will visit the site this week to check the equipment and oversee its installation; the contractor began the installation of the balcony floors earlier this week; he will begin installing the basement wood flooring next week; a notable, specialized carpenter was recently hired for some intricate woodwork needed on the ground floor, his reputation precedes him and we’re all excited about his addition to the team; our glass contractor has begun work on the light shaft; the rooftop pool is being prepared for tiling; and our stucco/molder contractor is continuing work on the main foyer and has recently begun work on the ground floor elevator hall.
