Not much has happened with our Vergemoli project since the old house was pulled down. It is impossible to do anything in winter and the weather is just starting to get better.

We trudged up to the site with a builder to talk about the next step. It may not happen until next year but it will happen.
We may get the electricity connected soon and the road needs a bit more work after a wet, cold winter.

all that is left of the old house
We would like to reinforce the wall from the old house and incorporate it somehow in the new building site. Perhaps it could be part of a garden wall. I can see a pot of geraniums nestling in the hole in the wall.

We are now waiting for the quote from the builder. We think he is too busy to start work this year, but you never know.
Look for the original post – Grand Designs, the pile of rocks, posted in November 2009 to see the old cottage that once stood on the site.
