Wednesday (have a rebate for Tuesday).

After complaints from ‘the readership’ this morning I thought that I’d better get back upto date with the blog.
For the past two days the cyber café computers have been running so slow that I have been unable to download any information or pictures. It has been very frustrating because the blog has already been written and the pictures taken. I have now been able to get them onto Blogger at last. The lady at the café says that Telefonica (who everyone blames, Spanish BT) has been making changes to their system. Anyway I think it should be back to some semblance of order now.
We have had another hot day up at Taberno today. We have been talking to the builder who will start demolishing the ruin and levelling areas for the new house, the pool and the static caravans. He will also dig out a ‘below ground water tank’ at the top of the land that should hold about 20000 litres of water when it’s finished. He will also do two pottos, one near the caravans and one near the house. He thinks that he may be able to make a start next week. This would be good, so that we can have the caravan site already dug out when we go to see the vans. The caravan area will be like a two tier lay-by off the track leading down through the land. The upper level will have the storage van on it and the lower level (probably half a metre below) will have the living van on it. This, we hope, will afford some prevailing west wind protection in the winter for the living van.
We did not realise how hard it would be to determine the design of the house. We have kicked it about now for quite some time now and we are not a lot further on with it. We have got to get this done quite soon now or we will disrupt the start of the building.
