November has arrived with monsoon like downpours and howling gales, but still between storms the sun beats down with enough heat to warm our bones.
This week has been 'finish painting the bloody house quick' week. And Dave has been a star. Inbetween working 6 days a week, he's managed to make a new drain, render the front of the house and paint the aforementioned walls beautifully - check out our new yellow stripe. We also now have a mini front garden with a few spikey agaves and also some strong smelling herbs to hopefully deter the roaming dogs from using our plot as a toilet!
I really can't believe it takes so long to finish a house, but once moved in, life returns to normal, and all the things that need doing don't really look that bad. I'm just so grateful for the opportunity to build our own home, finishing a few things off here and there can take all the time in the world. x
Yay Congratulations it looks great!!!, I love the picture of you jumping for joy in front of the house. We've closed our deal and engaged Jose to start our design project. We're just starting this part of our journey.
ReplyDeleteBeijinhos to you and Dave,
