We have decided to paint the inside of the house ourselves to save a bit of money so thats a big job we need to get around to. Possibly we'll be able to spend a bit of time here during August when not sailing - otherwise it will have to be in October when we´re next around.

Mark has done a fantastic job managing the project and has ensured the builders have worked hard and maintained high standards throughout.

 

The only issue now is our new neighbours that have crawled out of the woodwork with what seems like possibly legitimate claims to part of the adjoining ruina. It seems that despite our care and use of a recommended lawyer we received bad and possibly frauduent advice and information about the property and its full title.

That discussion will take a long time to resolve so until then we have a fantastic 3 bedroom house in the beautiful picturesque and quiet Spanish countryside that we can use and rent out.

Another bit of luck is the news that finally we'll be able to get internet at the house via a countryside long range wireless provider.
