And we have a first floor!






After a bit of a difficult time convincing the builders to get a grip and work hard, (after having caught them pretty tipsy during work hours), things have been moving on well recently and we had 8 on the go for one day in order to finish the cement work of the first floor, including the little overhanging balcony in the main bedroom.

The street is still a no-go area with a vehicle, (because of drainage works), so the guys recently had to take over a ton of cement up the steep track on their backs... Not ideal, but pretty impressive.

You can see the leaves in the bathroom ceiling; the idea is to peel them off leaving what should be a nice, subtle effect.

There's a shot of el Maestro Saúl applying a light layer of cement in what will be the living room.

It's all looking much more like a house now, I'm sure you'll agree!
