5 November site visit. Quite a bit has gone on with the build since I last updated but I have been too busy to post.  I am the Events Organiser for The Royal British Legion (Kyrenia branch) and this is 'Poppy Season' so we have a Ball to organise on top of ordering and (more painfully) paying for all the tiles and sanitary ware.  Nearly all done now and the only tiles left to find are the kitchen splashbacks (we changed our minds on ones we had decided on months ago).
We have been called to the build quite a few times to confirm position of water pipes (the ones laid before the floor went down were destroyed when the concrete people took down the metal ceiling forms) and position and size of window and door openings. We are really lucky to be living so near so it is not problem to pop up there at a few moments notice.
The wall man was due to start work last weekend but we had really heavy rains so work didn't start 'till 3 days ago. Our builder (Hakki) says that 200 blocks a day will be laid so as there are 3,200 of them, it should only take a couple of weeks, providing the weather holds. When we visited today, we were delighted to find some walls;

 Looking into our bedroom from the covered porch.
 Stairs to the upstairs patio.
 Opening for patio doors from covered porch to loungs.
 Opening for folding doors from lounge to terrace area.
 Outside of the (Winter) sitting room / media room.


 Our bedroom window opening - can you see the view?


 Eddy checking the window opening in the media room.
 Looking down the hallway from the front door.
 The house from pool-side.
Coming in from the road to the front door.


Annoyingly, we thought we had found the right person to work with for the underfloor heating and solar power but he is so busy, it seems he doesn't even have time to give us an estimate - grrrr!! When Poppy week has finished, my priority is to be on his case,
