A short update!
It's almost done! Just a few more weeks before we can move in! We're already packing our stuff!
We have water and electricity! 90 % of the wiring is done and the bathrooms are also almost ready!
What's left?
1.The door gate isn't in yet.
2.Solar water heater needs to be connected.
3.Air-Conditioners aren't in yet.
4.The biggest part:outside is not paved yet and we need to build a small shed.
5. They need to change the balcony railing!Unfortunately!
That's more or less it! Maybe 1 or 2 more weeks to go!

Waiting for the last permit
It's not much going on these days.We have to get a few permits.At the moment we're waiting for our last permit (using permit), once we have this permit we can continue the build and finish the house! We hope we can get this permit within the next 2 weeks!It takes some time!
Most of the work is done...except........The house needs wiring,painting (part is already done),a few doors and windows,and the outside area! That's all, more or less!
Yesterday the carpenter came and he put in a few indoor doors! Very beautiful wood!I love it!

The frame is in
Progress....
The big entrance frame is in (We will have a big sliding door)! It looks fantastic!The color is very beautiful and the door will be air-tide! We will also have a gate in front of the door! If the gate is open we'll have lots of light! One frame is still missing; the upstairs sliding door!But it's the last one....
The cement rendering is almost done!
The roof is not yet ready! Short update:Since the new house is just a 5 min ride away, I had a short look and the cement rendering for the roof is almost done!
Here are a few picture!I took the pictures this morning!
The new huge frame!
The last missing frame!

Window frames
Yesterday they started to put the window frames in! We can't really see them clearly, they are still packed in plastic! But they seem to be nice! We chose a light gray!
It might rain the next days....We had a very heavy rain today!This will probably slow down the work!
