They work hard and long hours for little pay and no benefits. I have all the respect in the world for them be they Mexican, Haitian, Dominican, Guatamalan, etc. I have found all I have come in contact with to be honest to a fault . My concern is the American boss who takes advantage of the illegals. I have worked in migrant camps doing pediatric care and am often appalled by the poor accomodations, lack of health care, use/abuse of children in the fields. There has to be a way to let these workers stay/return and protect their rights at the same time.....<BR/><BR/>Hope the move is going well.....<BR/><BR/>teriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9567735.post-1146615505217749172006-05-02T20:18:00.000-04:002006-05-02T20:18:00.000-04:00Your house is beatiFUL!

And secondly, that is one Texas sized kitchen! I love the hardware you chose for the cabinets and I think you're right about them tying in with the dark colors in the tile. Great choice!

I've done it twice. Had workers in and out for one thing or another for 6 months afterward. (though that first 10 days were the full-on work days). Our last house... the well failed the bacterial test the day before we had a house warming.<BR/><BR/>on the strike: i support a lot of what they are doing.. except, I'm sorry illegals making demands!! And for goodness sake... my immigrant family learned English within 2 years. <BR/><BR/>I need my car fixed (the check engine light is on and my tire has a nail in it).

Is that inset in the door colored glass or a different type of wood?<BR/><BR/>It's amazing how many of those little decisions you have to make when you're building a house, isn't it? Cabinet hardware, light fixtures, outlet covers - little things you don't normally think much about just pile up one after another. It can get a little overwhelming sometimes!<BR/><BR/>Hope you get all moved in soon. And tell Benjamin I said he took a great photo!Deb Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03322863748665701618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9567735.post-1146507777184794622006-05-01T14:22:00.000-04:002006-05-01T14:22:00.000-04:00Oh, I think you should get those Texan Longhorns I...Oh, I think you should get those Texan Longhorns I saw in the photo.<BR/><BR/>My son could not run his business without his Latin American employees. He is fluent in Spanish so has a great rapor with them. He pays them a living wage - way above minimum. California, like Texas, is very dependent on these workers. I am absolutely supporting them today and I am doing NO shopping.Gerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06292762162661584206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9567735.post-1146502713653572792006-05-01T12:58:00.000-04:002006-05-01T12:58:00.000-04:00Deb, your house is beautiful.
