November 2009 and work has started again

With the builders about to start again, Marc and Nigel spent the beginning of November sealing all the concrete before the roof goes on and the earth gets pushed back against the walls.

As you can see, I'd already done my bit - deciding how high the balustrades should be around the balcony.




Apparently it was very hard work, but they did manage to fit in some social life, including a couple of parties and a trip to Albania

They had to fly back via Athens, which was just as well or we wouldn't have this picture of Nigel looking like Sean Connery!

Now Yannis is back with his digger moving earth around and starting on the underground water tank and the sceptic tank - one on each side of the house.
