Giving the house the final touch

Outside Juantxo is working on finishing the stairs on the sides of the house, installing some decorative stone edges and, specially, trying to solve the problem that we've had this winter at the terrace on the north, where we had water leaks into the house.

The kitchen is finished

Even though there're still a couple of details pending, our cozy, little kitchen is completely finished.

Superb balcony

Joseba and his crew are about to finish all the woodwork in the house. What they've already finished last week is the railing at balcony. We've got a very cool spot there, with lots of space and fantastic views.

The urbanization is done

Little by little we're gettiing closer to the end of the project. One of the major works that has been done recently is the urbanization of the plot. Iker, the guy with the big excavator, was in Barajuen a couple of weeks ago to give the plot its final shape. The piles of soil have desapeared, the holes have been covered and everything has been leveled. Everything looks great now.





After Easter holidays, the 2nd of May or so, the guys who are going to do the concrete paving in front of the house and in the car-park area will be here. Juantxo has already installed the formwork.





The next step will be to plant grass all around the house. And also some fruit trees in the area in front of the house that you see in the picture underneath. It will be a titanic task for us because we have hundreds of square meters to plough. Just as well that "Trallas", one of the guys from the neighbourhood that we meet at the sociedad and in the bar, will let us his big tractor.
