Progress.........

Its all happening at once this week. We are still on with the first fix electrics and everything else that has to go up in the roof space before we put the ceiling up. The bathroom fan & all lights have arrived safely, so we now know where all the wires are going.  We have made our decision  on the type of air conditioning/heating to put in and, after a site meeting, have decided (to save time) to let someone else fit this - it took us ages to fit the one in La Luques, the 1st villa, and we now have a deadline of May to finish this one -I have promised a dear friend, (and Heinz Baked Beans supplier), it will be ready for his holiday - It looks like Bryan may be working on Christmas day.




The digger man has been back to dig a trench across the track for us to put in the water and electric supply and make a mess in my garden for the waste water and drainage pipes. Bryan is down the trench fitting pipes together as I write this.










The guttering arrived this morning. It comes on a roll in the back of the van and is put through a forming machine and then cut to size. Hopefully we will fit this when Bryan has connected the drains.






Just to make our day the window man has just arrived with the last window we are waiting for - alas it is the same size as the one we sent back 5 weeks ago. Grrrrrrrr. I hope it is just a picking mistake because it has to be fit before we do the rendering on the outside of the building and the guys are coming to do this in the next few weeks. I am not a happy bunny, we can't put them off (Its taken 12 months for them to fit us in).    Mr  window man has gone to check his warehouse to see if he can find it - No comment from me !!!!!

We are recovering from a hectic family/ friend seeing weekend. There are always too many people to see when we go back and not enough time to get round everyone.  It was nice to be able to go to a friends 60th birthday and meet up with some of the gang we played badminton with for over 20 years. We miss them, and it, a lot.  It was also nice to catch up with family and spend some time with children and grandchildren - Taking some of them to school was a treat not to be missed.

We have had a few wet days this last week but yesterday Mr Sunshine was back and it was nice to be eating our lunches out on the terrace once again, the air temperature is about 22 degrees but sat in the sunshine it feels much warmer,  I wonder how long we will be able to carry on doing so ? I will no doubt let you know.
