The farmers here did the olive tree pruning in early March, but I know it's different from area to area.

Your best bet would be to ask the locals

So you have gone for the cheaper version of Air Conditioning then eh ?

Thanks Nipps..there is some heavy duty info on that site, must sharpen my JCB.....

Hi Silverchick welcome again, I am building in the Axarquia area in Malaga region in the mountains....Wizened old chap should read wise old chap about 200 euro...!!...still a bargain though no doubt in comparison to Blighty..

Hello Arco-Iris, I have never had the pleasure of a virtual chat with you, how the devil are you, don't see you post much lately, I'm newish myself and a bit unstable at times , please excuse this , I am harmless really..I am afraid you are probably right, but I am sure I read somewhere you could prune up till May, I suppose I could look at it as a positive, I am growing my own firewood..and that is pricey round here...Thanks for the advice.....

Afternoon Martha, I will have a chat with them when over, I suppose it will give me less to do..more time to defrag...... ..thanks.

Well Jonsol..they don't call me squeaky for nothing !!!, I like to keep my Eco footprint as small as possible...the build has progressed a little since that picture was taken...I hope....

Found some up to date piccys of the ole homestead I took when last over in February....Be glad when I can start using it and come out of rented..don't suppose they have done bad considering they only started late October.........hurry up.....

Wow that looks fantastic and those views are to die for. Enjoy your trip and looking forward to more up to date pics.

Thank you Sam parky ..I think the two piles of sand are very nice also..Looking forward to the trip am imploding here.....

What a glorious position your house is in, Bigbhudda - stunning scenery, and all the sanctuary you (maybe?? ) need

I love the shape and design of the house.
It sounds like your builders have done a lot in a short time, so I'm hoping that everything will have advanced even more for this visit, and that you'll be happy with everything they've done.
It must be quite hard communicating with the builders from the UK? Or is your Spanish top notch??

We're off to see our architect shortly, and are hoping we'll have our Proyecto sorted out soon.
We'll have the luxury of being able to visit our plot every day if we want to, so I don't envy you having to wait in the UK and just hope that all is going well.
Must be a bit stressful at times, so I suppose you just have to do a bit of extra meditation...............................or have some extra medication!!

Like sam parky, I can't wait to see the latest photos - don't forget to pack your camera amongst all that soup (not literally, you understand! )

Safe journey xx

Hey Brisca..thanks for the nice comments, you are one of the good guys !!
It has been tough not being in Spain but we have a pretty good project manager who mostly gets it right !, it will be much better for you being able to visit everyday when the build is under way, I will look forward to seeing your Casa emerge from the ground.
my place looks remote but is not really just selective photography, we are not far from everything, but it is a beautiful area, it will be a sanctury and hopefully no medication will be neccesary..I will keep you updated..Adios for now....

Looking pretty damn good , what a lovely location , a bummer for the milkman maybe
But peace and quiet for sure

Hi Bigbhudda

Just wanted to say "hi", and hope that your journey over here went well today?

Hopefully by now you're safely tucked up in your cell, erm sanctuary - and Nursey has administered all the necessaries!?

Hope all is well with the build, and that you're pleased with how it's all looking.
Remember, the two Sams (and no doubt several others) are looking forward to seeing the latest photos on your return

Anyway, enjoy your stay and hopefully you might be able to find an Internet cafe to let us know that you're OK??

Take care, and have fun.
Love Sam x
