"Alpine Settler": Getting there - slowly but surely!

Getting there - slowly but surely!

I don't know quite what has gone wrong (yet again), but the photo's I posted ARE here but they are 'hidden' in these titchy little boxes

Well this was the 'state of play' last week. Getting ready to pour the concrete floor above the main living quarters.

Next step will be to set in place the final 'half floor'. Though it will be a bit more than that once in place....

Here - at last - is the top 'half floor'.

As you can see they have a nice terrace on the left of the reduced size bedroom(s) and a small balcony on the right of the building. The roof is smaller than I envisioned and as can be seen does not block my view from my terrace and balcony up the Val Chiavenna. Of course the view of the base of the mountains and the village is considerably reduced frommy kitchen and lounge downstairs. But at least it has blocked the view of the car park and lorries without reducing my ability to see the main part of the ridges and valley 'out front'.

I must admit that it is going to be a very nice house and I am looking forward to when the landscaping is done - whenever that might be......
