Crete is suffering the wettest winter for many years. Despite the weather the builders have managed to remove most of the shuttering, exposing the bare concrete of the main earthquake proof structure. There is still shuttering on the external stairs awaiting the final cement pouring. The site itself is still a quagmire, in fact access to our villa is virtually impossible without wellington boots. The workman were still on site on Friday 11th mainly removing the hundreds of nails used inn the wood for the shuttering. They complained about the weather and stated it was slowing the build considerably.
