C,EST MAGNIFIQUE ! well worth waiting for. And because you waited you got an amazing garden well on its way to be superbe. But the best part of it is : you are so generous in showing every details with wonderful humeur. Like always you never fail to make me laugh. What a wonderful life is ahead of you. You really know how to captivate your audience. The building of this house was a joy to watch, you even make us know a bit of every workers . No winges, no complaints, but gratitude and a lot of good humour. CONGRATULATION,send love from Australia ❤❤❤❤❤

great place. Since the entry is upstairs you might want to have the electrician put in an electric line in case there is a future need for an exterior lift chair. You guys are in great shape, but since you plan to stay a long time, why not prepare for accidents-- recovering from a hip or knee replacement, a fragile back after excessive gardening, guests that have such problems, or you're annoyed with having to carry up cases of Champaign and Port. For that last item you might wish to install the chair now. Cheers.

It does look good over the steps. That "torn" wall writing. I can imagine what's going to be fitted there... torneira? How are you coping with this heat wave? It must be hard for both you and the workers. Cold alvarinho helps a lot. I can tell from experience 😇

Nice to see you're slowly getting setted and happy to see you're having great results with whatever you're planting . With time , everything will eventually grow (except maybe for the non native species ). My mother used to grow everything she could put her hands on, and she was living near Coimbra. Hope you're both doing great there . Take care and keep on ! ps how are your potatoes doing? Once you talked about eventually loosing your Irish nationality, due to poor results (in a joke).

One comment...be careful on the size of kitchen island you put in. It is the no.1 regret people tell me--that they went too large. It eats up traffic flow, visual balance, etc. And 9 times out of 10, they don't customize the height to the cook (most important!!). Get storebought if you need to, but have the top adjusted to you by a carpenter. 2 cooks? Split the top so surface works for both. Also, 2 areas for prep--wet one near a sink, and only put a small sink in your island if you don't have wall space (it is useful there for wet prep & drinks/parties--but visually sticks out in line of sight from other rooms.)
@andie1769Ай бұрын
This a very good point re the island. It can be quite deceiving how much space they can take up. You will need a minimum of 1.2m walkway- 1m and you start pushing it. I can’t remember if you said you had an architect, But having your proposed kitchen drawn to scale will really help. Having said that, I’m sure you have it all under control! Cheers! 😊
