Week 6 - 11/07/2010 The roof is Ready

Hi all, the sixth week is ended, just in a couple of days they did the roof tiling (just a small part of the garage has been left without the tiling), the rest of the week was to put the solar water heater, the TV antenna, the internal ducted heater and the electric cabling is almost finish too.

Hola a todos, la sexta semana termino, solo en un par de dias pusieron las tejas (solo una pequeña parte del garaje se dejo sin terminar), el resto de la semana fue poner el 'termo solar', la antena de TV, el aire acondicionado central y el cableado eléctrico esta casi terminado

From now on the most important change in the outside will be the brick laying (they have already received  the bricks and they have been placed ready for the brick work - see photo below )

Desde ahora los cambios de la parte externa será la colocación de los ladrillos (ya se recibieron y se hicieron pequeñas torres alrededor listo para su colocación - ver foto de abajo)

I think, the changes will impress lesser than the changes that we have seen during this last month, we will start to show more photos from the inside, we still have the plasterboard to be installed, internal doors, skirting and architraves, bathrooms set up and tiling, kitchens layout, etc, etc..... see you soon!!!!

Yo creo que los cambios serán menos impresionantes que los que hemos visto durante este mes,  empezaremos a ver mas fotos del lado interno, todavía tenemos la colocación de durlock , puertas internas, los cielo rasos, los zocalos, los sanitarios de los baños y las cerámicas en pisos y paredes, la instalación de los enceres de la cocina, etc, etc, etc, hasta pronto!!!!
