Things are moving ahead on our stone house in Vergemoli. The weather has been on our side. This November has been dry and sunny, perfect building weather.
We are trying to make the house as pleasant to live in as possible. We have insulation between the brick layer and the stone exterior. As well as this we are installing under floor heating.
Here are some exciting photos for you.
This is layer 1 and 2. The second layer is a type of volcanic stone which helps with insulation. After this there is another layer of insulation and then the heating pipes go in.
On top of this is another layer, over which there will be terra-cotta tiles. Now that’s a floor!!!
We have a bath!
I didn’t climb the ladder to the top floor, but there are bathroom fittings going in there as well.
Nila was on hand to inspect the building progress.
Another excuse to show you our fabulous volcanic arched doorway.
And here are some more photos of the gorgeous views around the house.
If everything keeps going well the house will be ready for sale or rent next spring.
