Of sheep, kitchen and other building stories

The walls of the first floor are almost finished.

The excavator will come again on Monday to start with the development of the surroundings of the house: stretch of road till the carpark, area at the entrance, area for the ground heat exchanger, rain water collector, sewage treatment trickling filter and facultative pond, etc.

Once some of these tasks are organized, Juantxo and Joseba will start mounting the wooden structure for the roof.







The builders have also finally set up some fencing for security around the scaffolding and the free-standing terraces and balconies, after the official building supervisor told them to do so!





The "empty" space at the front will be almost entirely made up of windows.


Juantxo has also organised a tiny little kitchen in one of the rooms. Now they've got a small stove for cooking, a box with food, oil and other stuff, plates and cutlery - I hope they don't think of moving in soon!

On Sunday we also had some "neighbours" visiting us at the house. Well... the visitors were not the neighbours themselves but some of their the sheep and lambs that had found the way out of the neighbour's plot and made it to ours.
The lambs played on the slopes, racing up and down, to great delight of our dog Donnou, who was totally annoyed because he wasn't allowed to "play" with them and he sulked for an hour.
