A year on from our arrival in Galicia.
What have we achieved? Is the end in sight?. The photo galleries show that but for an extra coat of paint and varnish upstairs is about done.
As I write, Hippy is connecting in the tails to the consumer unit for everything but the downstairs lights and one power circuit so that is nearly finished. The hot and cold water only requires connecting to basins etc downstairs when they are installed so the plumbing is 90 percent. We should pretty much finish the kitchen this month and so, yes, we are getting there.

electricity supply and neighbours who we have difficulty
understanding.
Why?
You
try to but a piece of farming land in England with a house on it at a
reasonable price! OK so it's a doer-upper and we have opted to live
in while we do up rather than the perhaps slightly more pragmatic
approach of living in a caravan alongside.
