We are getting close now to have the building completely done so then it will be just up to Joules to find the time to come here and build the inside but at least all the walls and ceiling are more or less done. Needs some paint.. They will paint the outside of the building tomorrow.

Oct 30th We were lucky we got those windows in last night as we had a monster storm for like 6 hrs and it was blowing from the direct south at and into the building!! We had blocked up rest of the windows and put a big panel where the door was. Anyway, this morning I went to survey the place and th...

I agree.. This part of the studio is for sure going to cost more now. At most 2 weeks left and then the building will be ready for Joules when he can find the time..

Oct 26th Paul called this morning and he was at the window frame place and they now have all the glass. Wow.. He said they are assembling them and will deliver Thursday late afternoon. He said the guys would arrive late morning to continue to work on the ceiling but it is 12 and no one has shown up...

Sept 13th I got a message from Suse saying that they will finish the job in Lisboa in 4-5 weeks and then they are coming here and I will hear from Joules in the next weeks about supplies, etc.. Finally a bit of good news.. Now I can inform Paul and they can pull it together and finish their part, I...

Looks great Andrew... Some things can be really difficult in Portugal... at the moment as fall and winter get going I still can't manage to get my windows put in.. Ordered in April and the frames are made but no glass has been delivered even though both companies said they would be ready in Septembe...

After 2 months of virtually nothing happening, they are back at work now for the next couple of weeks to finish the wall at the top, the rendering of the outside and the windows and door are to arrive tomorrow. Joules has sent a materials list and we have started to order up materials and if we are ...

Wow.... I have spent countless hours reading and learning from his forum (and a lot of your posts, Stuart)... a great loss for the world of studio building for sure...

Here is a picture from above the building looking down the river valley when there is fog... Amazing view...

Good news today. Joules and his team will start here in 5 weeks. Phew...

The current plan since we are still waiting for Joules is to finish the outside when the windows and door arrive next week (we hope). If this gets finished and Joules is still not ready to work here, then if they have time, they will work on the suspended ceiling in the live and entrance room. All t...

Aug 5th Paul showed up this afternoon and cleaned up a lot of the mess and flattened out the lands around the top of the building, dug a ditch to bring the electricity cable from the house to the studio. I forgot yesterday they also replaced a drainage pipe that was crushed by one of the cement tru...

Here are some recent pictures of the work on the outside and around the building. Nothing new has happened on the inside.

THANKS STUART... It is not going to be exactly what you designed but pretty close. Here are the latest updates: July 20th Paul and José showed up a bit before 9.. Gil had a car accident so is out of work for a bit. Cleaned up some stuff on the roundabout and are moving the plasterboard out of the co...

So far so good.. Exciting...
