We have just got back from seeing the progress of the work on the house. It doesnt look like that much progress has been made but in fact a lot of the work is not visible and will not be visible once the house is finished. There are lots of steel bolts in the first floor which will strengthen the floor and steel beams and reinforced concrete which will mean that, when finished, the house should withstand an earthquake! Let hope it never needs to.
Having seen the original foundations I can now understand why the old house had a few cracks in it. Work has also started on the new terracing where the old drive was which will join up with the infinity pool and the garage which is going under the garden and on top of which we will be planting an old olive tree. The builders have also made good the road which a few weeks ago was impassible. But there is still a lot to do!!!
