Actually, there are several! We’ve actually got the beams on already. They were delivered on Monday, and we managed to get them in situ today (Wednesday). Thankfully, the little Kubota was big enough to lift them into place, otherwise we would have had to call on a host of people to get them 3m into the air! I was very impressed that the delivery truck got around the back of the house. He only had about 2” clear on either side, between a large tree and the house.
We had a delivery of roof tiles and bricks this afternoon, and the delivery driver asked how we had got them up there. He assumed they would have been manhandled.
The long wall is up to height, but will be finished off with tiles, and then rendered. Once it is plain white, it will all look wonderful. Last week, I actually put some tea lights into the little holes, and they looked fantastic. They gave off a lovely glow. When the palm tree is there, and a few other plants, it will be very civilised.
Our biggest problem now, is the pool. It will have to wait a while before we can do anything to that, so we can’t lay any more slabs either. The dogs keep bringing sand and dust into the house, but at least it just sweeps back out again! Ed says it will be November before it is done!
