May 2006

So we're into May now. Yesterday, May 4th, the carpenter put the doors and windows in - something of a celebration then. Today he's back, hopefully finishing them off. I thought it might be worth a few pics, so here they are. I will update as and when exciting things happen.

Currently (5th May) all tiling is finished - other than the kitchen walls. This is waiting upon cupboard installation by the carpenter. Walls will then be measured, tile quantity calculated and delivered. In the meantime the tiler must finish the front balcony. Builders will be making walls for stairs, tiler will then tile said stairs. Doors and windows are installed. Painters (friends) will be doing the top coat any day (ie I'm not sure when) so as soon as they have, we can start moving stuff into the house. Plumbing stuff (loos, showers, sink (yes, no cupboard for it), bathroom cabinets etc are due early next week (we're told). You now know as much as I do!

  • View from the beach - looks almost like a real house doesn't it! Balcony all but finished
  • Living area towards the office, front door on left, not shown
  • second bedroom, Rich on balcony with Sara, neighbour's dog, Rosie's friend
  • Front balcony
  • Main bedroom balcony doors
  • Bathroom window - well I found it exciting!
  • We have the key to our house!!!!
