All Done!

All of the outstanding jobs on Paulo's list have now been completed - thanks Paulo. The courtyard he had rendered and painted as a gift.

The furniture we ordered from IKEA in Porto failed to get delivered when we were there in March. IKEA refunded all of our money but their delivery company refused and asked to be paid again. It is strange that they couldn't find us or even locate Pedrogao Grande, as they had delivered to us twice last year.
We have, however, found a couple of furniture businesses in Avelar that we will be buying from in July when we next return.

Another job that Paulo did was to build a step in front of the shower tray. We were finding that the water would run down the glass wall and out into the bathroom. We are hoping that this step will hold back the water.

Some friends want to stay at the property this year. They will give us feedback and be a good test as to what still needs to be done prior to us letting others use it.

We would like to get the garden and terraces in some sort of shape. At present these areas tend to become overgrown and look a bit scruffy.

The logs piled up beside the parking area are soon to be cut up and stacked under the terrace roof. Our good friend Fernando from Esfera has arranged for someone to do this job.

The apple tree, seen on the left behind the logs, needs to be pruned. Any offers?
