Nov 17 update
Here are the last photos before the place gets its final finish and clean up…
…tomorrow another bolquete will allow the removal of the last load of debris… the result of the destruction of the walls where we increased the size of several windows
Painted shutters and doors await re-hanging
the living room wall, repainted in its original colors
the kitchen walls almost totally replastered and ready for painting
touch-ups and painting in the kitchen
the wood floors, pre-sanding.
And abundant light now enters where windows have been enlarged
Soon, the cardboard on the floors will be removed, the floors polished, the final paint touch-ups carried out and….
you’ll never see this again !

Nov 11 update
The window frames are made and installed ready for the rest of the wall to be opened to lengthen the window to floor level. Below the window, one of the shutters from the front balcony in the process of being repainted.
Window frames are being painted.
New plumbing in the kitchen awaiting rendering.
Bathroom 1 plumbing completed and walls and floor rendered.
Burglar deterrents (we hope) awaiting installation on the balcony.
And the entrance window from outside, before panelling it shut with glass.
The area where we have to work to access that window !
A scaffold-like structure will be built to access the window from the outside.
