Original Villa New Roof
We are taking the roof off the original villa because it needs to be replaced as it was not structurally sound. This will enable us to build the walls up a bit higher so the four new larger windows on this top floor with be in their correct positions.
There are three other benefits of doing this major construction work, firstly this original villa will be at the correct height to be able to join the newly rebuilt villa, secondly the ceilings will be higher and thirdly the rafters will be able to be exposed.
Windows Being Changed
The windows in the original villa are having real stone put around them and are being made the same larger size as the windows in the newly built villa.
On the lowest floor we have also made two, rather than the original one window there was on this floor.
Picking Four Olive Trees
They took some photos of all the olive trees available and with the help of Nikola telling me which were there healthiest I chose these four trees.
How fantastically useful WhatsApp has been throughout this project, enabling me to remotely be there when I am in another country.
