  • We find several problems with the roof we paid to have repaired.... Great progress on the stonework restoration of the old 'Chicken Shed' bar.

    House renovation is thirsty work, especially an old Finca (Spanish farmhouse), so if you would like to buy us a coffee or even a beer, you can do so here: www.buymeacoff.... It would be very much appreciated.

    You both should be so proud of the courtyard, it is so beautiful. From what it looked like in the beginning until now, it is such a huge difference.

    Excellent ideas for finishing off the courtyard shed! It will blend in so much more naturally with the tiled roof and door - can't wait to see it finished, especially with a little background colour from the plants and other accents you decide to add.

    Just a thought. How about a small rain gutter on the end of that little roof to gather the rain water into a rain barrel/bucket to help water the plants on your patio?

    Wow, great shout on putting tiles on the bar roof. I thought the grey roof looked ok to be fair, but with the traditional tiles on, well it’s a game changer. That’ll look fantastic 🤩

      We much prefer to use hydrated lime but do use hydraulic lime where we need a faster setting time (floors etc)

    This house will never be finished. Structures are made incorrectly, and that's why parts of the finished product have to be dismantled. The old one is dismantled from all sides and repaired with small pieces of stone. Episodes are mostly idle talk without any real work. At the end, you will be happy when the stones have been replaced on the walls. The outside walls of the house would require more attention than other objects before the plastering drips on. The unnecessarily long parts of speech are very boring.
