Well things are moving on swiftly with our build. We had our first site meeting with our architect Jose and he reckons the roof / terrace of our new extension will be on by the end of the year! As you can imagine big smiles in our household.
Today the weather here in Portugal is glorious, although my widget says 16° in the sun it's boiling! Yay! The flip flops are back on and it's less than 2 weeks to xmas. Now i really know why we moved here. I'm loving it.
Here's some more pics to keep you up to date with our progress.
Our builders work at break neck speed. Everyday when we go into our garden something else has changed!
So this is when our pad turns into acro city and we have a build like all those ones you see around Europe and wonder how on earth that all works. Even scarier is that there's not a hard hat to be seen on site!
As you can see this is a rather large footprint being laid down. Above will all be a fabulous sun terrace, ready to be 'tropicalised' - ok so i've coined a new phrase, but i think it will catch on. We came here for sunshine, blue skies and lovely plants [not forgetting wine of course]. So the terrace will be full of palms and grasses and lovely hot weather plants. All with a view to this, life is sweet ...
