Pergola saved

Yes the Pergola. We had a few attempts to save it, over the summer with Uta and Stefan and my Mom we made a start, we looked at it over the new year but left it as it was.


But this summer was the summer of the rescue of the Pergola, at least for now.. It is standing there in its glory and as I type, the grapes are getting some colour..

hopefully standing a while

looking good

new glory

the winter situation .. still collapsed

summer excitement

Ok, I will start with the complaining and then it is out of the system and I can report about all the good stuff that happened this summer.

One of our big projects for this summer was the north facade that we wanted to have fixed. We made an agreement with the two muratores last year, they had estimated it will take about two weeks and we agreed the job would be started when we come to Italy about mid July in 2015. 4 weeks before we left Sweden, we confirmed that we indeed will be arriving in mid July. So far so good.

When we called the muratore upon our arrival, he unfortunately had booked himself so much that he could not do the job!! What is wrong with this country...

so now I have complained.. next post is going to be positive again.
