Pablo's Pig Tails




A shot of our current favourite shop - "Pigtel" managed by the ever-friendly and helpful Pablo. It'll be interesting to see how much we'll have spent there by the end of this whole process.

Rosalino is rigorously rubbing down the right-hand-side tank and Leborio's labouring lovingly in the left!

Doing their best despite the rain




Rainy season got into its full flow just as the builders wanted to start lining the water tanks with concrete... Not good timing as it made the job impossible at least with their original method. So, as you can appreciate in the photos, planks were positioned and the concrete was poured down. There's also a photo of the whole plot taken from one side of the garage.

These photos are 10 days old or so now, and the tanks are fully lined. The next job is to add a think layer of concrete and polish it, to seal them. This week was a slow one, firstly due to 'bicentenario' celebrations and then Hurricane Karl threatened to do some damage so we gave the builders an extra day off.

It's already a year since we got planning permission which means we have to go and renew that on Monday.
