September 21st.  What a difference 10 days have made !!! We went to the UK for a week to surprise our eldest son on his birthday and upon our return, made our first site visit this morning - great joy, we have columns (although it is starting to resembles a Roman ruin) and lots of lovely terraces!!

The view from the road as you enter the drive.

looking down the hallway.

The slab, from which the pool will grow.

The un-planned basement. This picture is taken from the furthest corner of the land.

The view from the empty skinny house next door.

From the road-side at the opposite end of the land.

We are really pleased with the progress and rooms can now be clearly identified.  Eddy is a bit concerned that some may be a bit small - our bedroom, for example, but I think they will be just fine.  The next stage, we suppose, will be the roof shuttering going up. Our ambition for this week is to make final decisions on the outside terrace tiles and bathroom suites. Expect more heated discussions...........
