Weeks 10 and 11 ----- (26 June to 8 July 2017) ----- Start reinforced concrete roofs

I left Formentera on Friday 23 June, and lo and behold, very little happened the week after. In fact nothing. Deliveries arrived on Monday 3rd July, at the same time as Sally and I arrived back on the island.
On Tuesday morning Vasile and the boys arrive early to finish the shuttering for the roofs. On Wednesday they got the concrete mixer going and poured the roofs for the guest wing, hallway and master bathroom.

Some photos...

Big fire in Es Cap this afternoon (5 July). Two helicopters and two planes dropping water.



Later this week Karim applied two coats of waterproofing to the inside of the cistern, and the boys have built the 'encofrado' for the master bedroom, poured the porch footings and worked on the other roofs.
