Last week was another monumental one in our lives. The leaky terrace was fixed, hooray. Two layers of black bitumen waterproofing, embedded up the sides of the house by about 20cm, was laid in a day. Then a new screed will be laid and then finally our terracotta tiles. What a relief to have this sorted, we can really relax about this now. My poor Dave seems to be getting greyer by the day!
The other fantastic event was the delivery of our gorgeous windows. We had chosen frames in granite grey [7026] from the RAL colour system. I had noticed all the modern buildings i loved had grey frames, and wanted to emulate the same feeling in our little house too. I think when we're finished it will give that really polished look that we're trying to achieve.
Our window supplier Telmo from Chaves Aluminos Oeste has done a splendid job. He said that for our job he's made the smallest window he's ever made - 50cm square for the downstairs loo - and the largest window too - our triple sliding door nearly 5m across!
I have a feeling that we are not tipico, c'est la vie! x
