Taking Shape

We're starting to get a feeling that things are moving on. Our opening is now defined by some new dressed stones. It is really encouraging to see something concrete and not have to imagine what the plans actually mean.

As you can see, the opening on the next floor has aready been made, and Cyrille told me today that he will be opening the doorway for the top level sometime next week. I had thought that the ground-floor floors were going to be concreted before Christmas, but it now seems that the builders are going to make all of the new openings (door and window) first. The feeling that we are progressing (perhaps an illusion) has encouraged us both!

We also had the electrician doing some preparation work today and he wants to know (approximately) where we want light switches for the lights in the salon and the kitchen/dining room. We don't think that he realises just how long it will be before we get to work on some of the rooms!
