All had been going brilliantly, then we had another downpour and where the old house met the new extension created a little bit of seepage into our new downstairs. Again we're feeling blessed that it rained when it did and the house wasn't totally finished. We met with Jose who said that they hadn't waterproofed the terrace the way it was designed to be! All you really want out of any house is two vital things - that it won't fall down, and that it can keep you dry!
So this is what our lovely new terrace looked like yesterday! Four inches of concrete removed, then a thick membrane will be laid, then a new layer of concrete.
It's a bit disheartening, and i really hope it doesn't hold up our moving in date, but this is vital for our peace of mind and dryness.
On a lighter note, we had our lovely friends Mary and Zip come and visit us on their Harley, all the way from Devon. What a joy to see another set of smiling faces for a couple of days. They've now left for the Algarve, then to Spain and finally back to Santander to get the ferry back to Plymouth. Thanks for coming guys, you rock x
