spring 2007

After we've succeeded to gather more money we've finalized the rest of papers needed for the construction. During the winter we were enough stressed and tired to work, so we were visiting the construction site just once a week.
When the spring came, we were ready for the installations part and we started to check different plumbers. We've found a serious firm for the heating installations, which was probably the first pro team that worked at our house. We've learned our lesson previous year. So this team has done the heating part of installations except the water installation because they were not interested (it wasn't to profitable for them as the heating installation). In the middle of the summer we didn't found yet a team for covering the roof with shingles. I've invited a few people to see the roof, but it was quite abrupt and they weren't interested. at least here I can't be fooled. Who was scared about the height couldn't go on the roof.

winter problems

At the beginning of february 2007 after a violent wind, the carton that was covering the roof (that was a temporarily solution for the winter) have been got off its nails and was going to uncover the roof on large areas. I had to call the roof workers team back.
Another thing... Because nobody was living in the house we were "visited" by unwanted guests, usually kids that were playing with balls in the front of the yard. Other "visitors" were some guys who were parking their truck (they were selling wood for heating). The frustrating part was the feeling that the place is kinda abandoned and I was regulary finding garbage near the fence, in or outside the yard. I was visiting the construction site about twice a week, so the construction site was looking abandoned. I spoke with neighbours and I strengthen the relations with these in hope that were giving an eye by time to time to check if everything is ok.
