Latest Drain Solution ..??
Monday 8th October
J gave Ricardo til 10.30 before chasing him, and he came round within the hour with Tommy. After showing him the pics of the flood and discussing the options, we agreed a much larger drainage pipe was required (110 mm), and the patio and part of kitchen floor would have to be dug up. This was a guaranteed successful option rather than my fancy regulation system of water off the roof terrace.
As we are off to Seville for a couple of days, he would start tomorrow and hopefully finish it before we get back. Asked how much……no charge …it is fixing our mistake…..Popped over to Barrionuevo in Coin to get some kitchen tiles…15 € for 2 square metres , so still a cheap option.
After lunch at El Timon, bacalau and albondigas, cleared the kitchen ready for the next onslaught to the house. J then chilled out with a book on the roof terrace soaking up the sun.
We visited the vendor’s Solicitors in the evening to see if any more news. Indeed, there had been. The paperwork had been reviewed by the Judge in Coin the previous Friday (5th October) for the third time….apparently it had been rejected on 2 previous occasions, the first time for reasons unknown, and the second time because they got J’s name wrong ! It should be formally registered with the Land Registry in a month or so…….where have we heard that before ??.....but apparent progress.
Tuesday 9th October
Ricardo and Tommy arrived bright and early @ 8.00 am and almost immediately started digging up the patio and kitchen floor with their big drill, whilst J was having her breakfast. Decided on a quick getaway to Seville and were gone before 9 am.
