Sun Room

We have decided to make better use of the front terrace that looks out onto the street. We do not usually sit out here, other than maybe to chat to the neighbours or when family visit as there is not much privacy, with cars passing by. We duly applied for a "Licence Of Obras", and permission has been granted by the Ayuntamiento upon payment of our application fee.
We obtained a quote from a nearby Window supply shop, but prices were quite high just to supply aluminium type sliding windows. On a day out, by pure chance, we came across some second hand used timber windows, which hubby decided he could transform to "good as new condition", with lots of hard work, elbow grease and patience.
the 5 windows that we need to use in the construction are now prepared, and we await a visit from the builder to make a start on wall construction. More pics to follow when work is in progress .....

A House Next Door

Since my last post, apologies for not keeping our Blog up to date, many changes have taken place in Illora. A new house has been constructed next door to ours, and we took a timeline of photographs as each stage progressed. The Spanish family are now living in the house, work is complete.
