have started now.
The sidewalk in front of the house gets its borderstones set and the
last bit of the garden wall is closed now.
Also the carpenters have started
now putting up the planks for the
pool terrace.
on to the site and until the evening
80 m³ of fresh water are filled in.

On Thursday the montage of the
cover and the pool electric will follow.
Before the pool is filled with clean water, the stone walls are cleaned with the Karcher – what is producing
a huge amount of dirt

The support columns are fixed

My promise: It will definitely not take another 2 years :-).
are still waiting for information of my favourite Spanish concern GESA/Endesa (power supply).
As long as the power supply at the storefront side is
not laid into the ground, we cannot finish the last works there. GESA has a big monopole and is working or not – just as it pleases. I could hold a monologue on that and give many examples for that, but as we are in Spain,
it is like it is and it is not worth having troubled thoughts. So we will wait a little longer and maybe we will finish

a huge load. We are beginning with tidying up the site
and the neighbour’s area.

mirrors, accessories and lamps etc. If I won’t find

When the glass panes for the handrails of the big stairway are delivered next week, the works
within the inner of the house are finished.
and fitted in, the gaps are filled in
and by the end of the week two sides of the frames are ready.
The carpenter also took measurements for the wooden
planks of the pool terrace. There
will be used a high quality wood,
but nobody can give me a German translation for it: IPE…
The stone table of the pool terrace is growing.
By Friday, the joint compound will be dry and the
whole table board can be polished
are filled up here and there.
The boss is working himself: I chose to clean all the windows – with swiss perfectionism, of course!
