Break up to Make up

The electricians are chasing in the grooves for the wiring very carefully without damaging the plaster or zellige. They are under Bens watchful eye and thats good enough for me. Ben gives me a daily update on what is going to happen and the stage we should be at at end of day and we see if I agree. It becomes kinda obvious after a while as to which stage comes next when you see it on a daily basis, its an experience that Im glad i did not delegate as each day its necessary to tweak the plans a touch.







Looking across the octagonal cupola on the roof at Bacalli the foreman and a tough little bugger he is too with the workers he does not allow any slackness.
The old windows and grilles are out when the new ones are in place with Iraqui glass this will be my favourite feature of the house along with the main salon zellige floor.
The old lady has her make up removed and a fresh layer applied you can see the three stages old plaster, plaster removed and new layer applied with each team of workers right behind the other. Time and motion studies couldnt catch these boys out.
On the top terrace the stripping out continues and then both sets of terraces will have a double layer of bitumen to waterproof the roof before the zellige man moves in to complete his work
