As Joseba was installing the windows and the electricians and the painters were working inside, Juantxo and his crew started to install the concrete paving slabs around the house.
The small wall sorrounding the terrace is still under construction. It's finish will also be white, as the rest of the house.
In the beginning we'd planned of having some pattern printed concrete on the terraces and on the sidewalks and so it was budgeted. But Juantxo has never been so fond of this kind of finish (he's had a bad experience in his own house) so he suggested that we visited a company he knew close to Vitoria where they had some building material leftovers from some other urbanization works. And there we found the concrete paving slabs that he's installing now on the sidewalks and the terraces.
We're glad that we changed because this slabs look clearly better than the stamped concrete. And they're quite cheaper as well!!!
For the rest of the patio and the carpark area we'll go for continuous deactivated concrete paving. But we'll talk about it in another moment.
