Hooray, the terrace is now back to how it was a couple of weeks ago! The guys only have to lay the terracotta tiles then it's done, phew!
Not much more to do now, i really can't believe that we're nearly there. It's just the front door and stairs to be fitted and the second fix electrics to be sorted after the well insulated ceilings are completed, and then the calcada terrace outside leading to the garden! Calcadas are little square cobble stones, which apparently will be laid by the Brazilians next week. The kitchen is due mid July, so we have to get on and tile tile tile!
This week i had to get the tiles delivered from Lealmat. They sent 130 60cm square boxes in a lorry with one [small] driver. I suppose he was supposed to shift them on his own, which would have taken all day. However our builders pitched in and an hour and 15 cold beers later the job was done. We have to tile the whole downstairs next weekend as the kitchen and stairs must go on top, which will be fun. At last we can do something, Dave is a tile master and i'm the queen of grout! Now where did i put those knee pads ... x
