Between 3 and 12 March we returned to settle accounts with the workers and check out the work done.
We especially want to thank Giussy and Phillip Carleton for all their help: Giussy for helping us find the property and set up all the details for the signing & sealing. And Phillip for all his help in translating, organising the work and letting the workers in, go-between, moral support, getting telephone numbers for restaurants, and even weather reports. Phillip and Giussy, you are worth your weight in gold!
Our beautiful view, where you can just see the snow-capped mountains!
The kitchen:
The new lamps and ceiling...
The new cupboard:
We even used the fireplace! It was nice and cozy.
The faucet that allows you to open the window: see how it bends?
The living room all painted and ready to relax!
We found this old cabinet in the shed. It only needed some TLC -cleaned and painted - it was just like new.
This is the lamp we bought in Guardiaregele - the town famous for their wrought-iron craftsmanship:
The Cantina: you can see now that it totally opens up the space here. Someday it will be our summer-time living room, where it will be nice to have a glass of wine during the hot summer days.
We have a washing machine now (we have the technology). We ordered new couches and they should arrive at the end of March - again, Thanx to Phillip for opening up!
All in all, we accomplished our mission! Now we can relax this summer!
