The original stone house that we had to demolish had a wonderful stone door frame. When we got permission to rebuild the house, our permits stated that the new house had to be exactly the same dimensions as the original. The windows and doors had to be the same and the stone arched door way had to go back in. No problem, we love the door frame.
It was an exciting milestone for us when the stone arch was built. It is really starting to feel like our house.

it looks as though it has been there for years
I think the builders have done a great job. The rocks have been lying on the ground for a year waiting to be restored to their rightful place.

The building has gone up so far without a hitch. The weather has been great. There has been little rain to stop the work going ahead. Let’s hope this continues.

This will be the view of the pretty village of Vergemoli from the main bedroom and the upstairs sitting room.
