Building Work Finished for Now

I have completed stage one of the re-modelling work on the house, I have created an arch way through two isolated rooms creating a space that is 3 times more usable, we have decorated in a nice warm creme and yellow even though the colours were called Ochre and cinammon. we spent days upon days clearing all the dust but the vast majority is gone and only a fine layer is sitting on all surfaces now, I think i am just pushing it around the house when i try and clean it up.

The finished archway,





We also removed the old sink and Bidet from the downstairs toilet, I don't know anyone who would strip off and wash their backside in the bidet of a downstairs toilet in anyones house including their own, so that went, the sink was second hand i think when the provious owner installed it, and he had put some horrible little marble tiles at the side to act as shelves and it was ugly and not very practical, we saw a very nice new design of vanity unit with this very unusual sink and it was on sale in the same shop where we were going to buy the glass shower door.

The lovely new vanity unit with a very unusual sink design, price 169 Euros




The last item we have changed or added actually was a glass shower door to the large corner bath, I had a shower fitted to the bath while i was here last month and the only way we have been able to use it is by sitting in the corner of the corner bath and letting the shower sprinkle you while sitting, it gets the job done but a little fiddly. So we had a look around and found this door for only 50 Euros, made in China of course, and it is the perfect size for the bath and th last section fold away to let you climb in and out.

The nice new shower door, it is held in place by 2 small screws, i think it would fall over if given a push by a falling child.




we are well on the way to living a normal life, once we get the furniture that is, it is shceduled to arrive Friday all the way from Cadiz, about a 3-4 hour drive, hopefully we are going out this weekend to relax at the only breeding place for The Greater Flamingo in Europe which is only 1 hours drive away. The last item is Jenny is going to get a 5 year work permit when we visit the immigration office on the 14th of April, after that I am back to work as i need to start paying some bills.
