Until the end of the week we finished the stairs to the 1st floor and Miguel
is beginning with the stairs to the
2nd floor.
Jens is going to install the heating elements at the sides next week and then we can build the tank from sprayed concrete.
on the outside are finished. The side walls of the terrace on 1st floor get their final rendering.
all the supply drains for power and water are laid and the stair steps to the pergola and the garden are in preparation.
The stairs to the pergola will be as wide as the patio and in the back area we are going to install a fountain.
the first floor are laid and grouted.
Only the border areas of the stair steps are missing and can only be finished when the stair steps are set.
The plastering works on 2nd floor are almost finished and one can see now, how the rooms look like once they are ready.

will begin with the casting of the ground plate of the patio. Now, when everything is plain and even, one can see, how spacious the patio will be.
The terraces of 1st and 2nd floor are ready laid and are now going to be grouted. On 2nd floor, most of the tiles are laid too and we start preparations for the tiling of the 1st floor.

The huge patio is prepared continously, the surrounding fundaments are cast and the conduit for the feed pipes of the pool and for the electrical installations is prepared.
The correspondent conduits have to be laid in and prepared to have the concrete board to be cast.
Once the positioning of the installations is made, we can begin with armouring works.
Before we can begin, we have to check the position of the first row of tiles, not to have ugly cuts.
In the centre of the terrace we install a relaxing gap and there is a decline to the two rain drainages.
On the apron the stand for the big satellite dish will be positioned. So there is no need to drill into the ground and the terrace will stay water proof.
