Progress update February 2010

Greece is bankrupt, the Germans want to buy Corfu to help with the debt and there is a threat of a huge windfarm in San Stefanos bay. And our house.....

Slowly, slowly!

We had to get over a big disappointment when we found that out builders had dug into the perfectly sound bank at the back of the house. Instead of a shrub covered bank we now have a bare, unsound, scraped back surface and have to build a concrete wall to make sure it's safe.

Thanassis was upset because we were upset but we now have to make the best of it.

Apart from that, things are moving slowly in the right direction. The electricity, plumbing and air conditioning are all in place. The outside of the house is rendered and the inside walls are plastered.

I think we're looking at 2011 before we can move in.
