Close-up of cantera detail that will be used around the windows.

First coat of stucco (it is really just mortor) going over the brick 

Close up of this "cafe-tabacco" colored cantera or cut stone/granit that in this case comes from Queretero.

A wider shot of the old facade. 

Not to forget what it looked like a little while ago 

Note the forms for the concrete beam across top of new wall
