January 23, 2017. Business day

CAMPGROUND:  Last night in Retama Village.  The sales group has two RV lots with small coach houses reserved for visitors like us.  It has been very nice "camping" here.  

LOCATION:  Mission, Texas

WEATHER:  Sunny.  Very nice.  Highs about 80  

We met with the interior decorator to pick out our colors.  Lots of decisions....countertops, floor tiling, shower tiling, cabinets, wall color, grout, backsplash, lighting, faucets, and appliances. .  It took about an hour.  She said we were "easy".

We won't be so easy, though, when we talk with the builder.  We hope we can make some revisions on the floor plan.  Since it is so tiny, we want a very open plan in the tiny house.  We hope they are willing to accommodate our ideas.  We will be leaving here tomorrow for South Padre Island, but will make a day trip back here to meet with the builder and any other people we need to see.

 

After meeting with the decorator, we went to downtown Mission in search of a hardware store.  The downtown has seen better days.

In the afternoon, the real estate agent took us to meet the company's CFO to discuss payment.  Their offices are in nearby McCallen, Texas which is larger and more developed than Mission.  We will probably be going to McCallen for shopping and for entertainment. There is also a great regional airport in McCallen, which has frequent flights to Dallas and Houston.   

 

DINNER:  Curried vegetables and chicken over rice.
