Michele says: CI PIACE MOLTO!!!😍
We say: ANCHE NOI!!! Possiamo immaginare di nuotarci dentro adesso. 😃
Clearly Michele is very pleased with the smoothness of the pool walls as shown here.
Somewhat dissapointingly, a delay in the delivery of the tiles means the completion date is put back by a week or so. We have rearranged our next trip accordingly.
Metal border to attach the liner.
Removal of the spoil
Short video here
After a few days of heavy rain they were able to lay the pipes for water (orange) and electricity (black).
Terraces reformed. Video here.
Border tile pieces collected. Now they can start tiling round the pool.
Michele’s youngest son likes the pool a lot and has been visiting to see the progress. Short video here.
Installed in September. So many delays! The final step was replacing the faulty controller for the inverter and batteries.
Michele shaved the rendering down to allow this half of the gate to properly fold back against the wall. It is ready for us to repaint when we return.
Apparently the hole is not big enough
Total washout due to rain storm. Massive rain storm in the morning. Draining water from the hole and battling with drains in the afternoon.
Hole enlarged and laying of the base started
Reinforcement in preparation for delivery of concrete next week
Now waiting for concrete delivery by mixer on Wednesday 15th
Power to the workers
Michele has posted road closure signs in preparation for Wednesday concrete delivery.

Michele was a bit pissed
Painted the shabby banisters black. A big improvement.
Some discussion with Gino and Michele needed as one of the halves doesn’t fold back flush against the wall.
Ground broken for the swimming pool. Michele started today and the old pool has already been removed by lunchtime. Very exciting!
Also, they came to paint the boxing that covers all the heat pump piping at the back of the house.
The tiles on the ground floor were left in a terrible state after the renovation. We tried cleaning with a mild acid product, but without much improvement. We asked Michele if he could help and he told us we needed a specialist floor cleaner.
We cleared as much from the ground floor as we could before leaving in February. Michele and one of his guys moved the heavier furniture.
Michele sent us this video of the state of play with one more protective coat to apply. Looking so much better.
