After having inspected it, Fadesa informed us that this was “normal” mmm…. Not quite sure about that answer. So we were wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem, if so, have you managed to succeed in Fadesa rectifying it?

Hello

Is anyone able to help us with our grout question, is grout more chalk like is Spain or do you think we are being fobbed off by the builder?

Thanks

Spanish tilers don`t usually leave gaps like UK tilers and they use the tile adhesive to fill in the gaps.
You must remember it is the Spanish system you have bought into and not British building regulated workmanship.
You only have to look at the roofing or gas instalations to substantiate this.
Some walls are only 4 ctms thick, I drilled right through one when fixing the bracket for the plasma TV.

Might not seem helpful but maybe your as well off to "rake the joints" and regrout the area yourself . Could take ages to resolve with Fadesa and for the sake of a few hours work, at least you can purchase a readymixed waterproof grout and seal the tiles before any damage is done. If it's like chalk it shouldn't be too hard to rake out.

Good luck... whatever course of action you take !

If you go to the builders merchants.there is one as you go past the la plaza shopping mal.with the mal and the petrol station on the left.half way between the little round about and the big roundabout at the end of the road.Its on the right hand side on the main road.You can proberly buy a bag there.dont use cemento blanco (a lot of spanish do).and the merchant may recomend it.if you havent used it before or you arnt familiar with it make sure you stick to tile grout.

It was fairly wet in Costa Esuri last week, but look at the effect it has had on the gardens. Look closely at the last photo, it isn't just a picture of a golf ball on the green !

Hi BobD and welcome back to "sunny" England,

Looking at UKweather.com as of yesterday when the temp in Ayamonte was over 28* from now on it is set fair with blue skys and sunshine for the next ten days. Here in MK it was so wet on Tuesday that I could not cut the graass until late yesterday and I had to be careful not to decapitate the frogs living in the long grass.

Regards,

John.

For my sins, I am the president for M2. Playa have not given me any contact details for anyone on this manzana but have asked me to make decisions re eg how many months of the year the pool should be open. I want this to be a democratic process,but without being able to contact anyone it makes it impossible. Therefore if anyone is on M2, please PM me and let me know your thoughts and issues.
Thanks
Sue
