My home renovation - little noticeable progress

The cornice on one of the corner 

columns in the bedroom has been 

stripped of plaster to reveal the 

stonework and some layers of

paint chipped from the vaulted

ceiling have uncovered an interesting

base colour .

The shelves and lamp-ledge have been

built in the middle bathroom.

On the roof terrace a technical shelter

has been built, to house the bedroom 

air-con motor, and to create storage for 

terrace furniture during the short damp 

winters.

My idea is to cover this with plant pots 

to create a raised garden. This will also 

give my neighbours terrace more privacy,

and something pleasant to look at.

The Leccese stone slabs have been laid

on top of the roof terrace walls. These 

stop the rain from soaking the more porous 

tufo stone that the walls are built with.

The structure of the terrace kitchen has been 

constructed. This will also house the second 

air con motor. The chimney has been reopened

and built a little higher with old tufo bricks that 

we'd save from demolition downstairs.

All the plumbing pipes and central-heating pipes

have been laid. Today the electrician starts work

on the entire electrical circuiting.
