layout of house

Hi! It takes a little careful investigation of the photos – but if you look long enough you will see that there are some red strings that we have used to layout the perimeter of the house to be built.
We are starting on the stonework as of Monday or Tuesday depending on the weather. Louise will also be sending you a breakdown of work completed.

Water connection again

Regarding water connection: Your suggestion to go underground is very difficult though not impossible. It would require digging up teh pebble mosaic and also taking up the stone tops of steps etc. Are you sure this worth it? I believe that if we just go for a copper pipe as close to the floor as we can it will look fine - no one will really notice... lets discuss this - not urgent but we need to know.

possible water routes


The pipe we use can either be a plastic black pipe like the ones already used for the irrigation OR it could be a copper pipe that is nicer but a little more expensive. If you go for the option of the handrail it would have to be in copper.

WE HAVE STARTED

Yesterday we started with digging out the olive tree to see how deep we can go.
Yorgos and Dawn went over the weekend and replanted the trees that were within the footprint.
Today I am going to go and finalize the position of the house. More photos to come!
