Kitties and Brickies

Our two kittens Moulay and Idriss keep a watchful eye from Bens apartment bedroom window on the workers below or maybe they just smelled dinner!
The final building on the terrace this will be the laundry room and also through the gap you can access the spiral staircase to top terrace which will be tucked behind terrace bedroom, so effectively out of sight.

Its all been going off today as well as last night, I was woken up at midnight as several trucks turned up to take away the rubble which had started to build up alarmingly outside the house. Of course they have to come at this time when the medina is empty. Today there is so much going on in the house on all levels that it is best to stay out of the way.
They are taking all old plaster off the ceilings, building on terrace, plastering one of the bedrooms, chasing out for electrics, clearing out rubble in the basement etc. Felt like a war zone wont go back till 5pm when the dust should have cleared a bit. Just when you think you have finished demolition phase there is something else to consider oh well thats the nature of the beast.
Will be heading back to Spain in a weeks time to see Casa Luigi, my Spanish hideaway, and also Sina who has been brilliant looking after the house and renting it out even hiring her daughter to clean it while Ive been here. I know she will be reading this so a big HUG and thank you from Africa. It will be good to take a break and to come back to appreciate the progress as going in daily you instinctively want to hurry things along. Bearing in mind the build has only been going 5- 6 weeks I am well impressed with where we are at the moment.
