That’s it, the last work was completed a couple of weeks ago and now everything has been put on hold until next Spring. The weather quickly deteriorated in November making it difficult for the masons to continue any work at all. They finished the North West and North wall all the way to the top and managed to do a few smaller stone works that did not require the use of the lime-based cement.

They covered up the water cistern, built the stone footings of the garage and the small retaining wall between the road and the terrace in front of the entrance door.

They did start building the South East wall which is along the road but did not go far again, due to the weather conditions.

The last couple of weeks of November were spent covering up and protecting the work with tarps, plastic sheets and cleaning up the site for the winter.
