Alarming picture, no?
So far, I have had five meetings... the longest was yesterday's. It lasted for all of about 3 minutes... with the builder about building the fireplace in l'Appartamento Azzurro...
HATE this name!!! The title of Upstairs Apartment, though lacking atmosphere & fantasy, perfectly distinguishes the 60 square meters from the rest of il Poggiolo. Perhaps, I should conduct a contest? I second the motion. So, I ask my readers to suggest a new AND acceptable name for the apartment. Go to it, please. Thanks.
Supposedly, the builder's Game Plan is tomorrow... Saturday... to glue the marble base & put a hole through the sub-flooring to feed the pre-fabricated fireplace with O2, followed on Monday to begin the actual construction of the brick structure to hold the pre-fab fireplace in place. Hopefully, the immediate days after, the marble facings, top & the flue will be built. Might I dare hope to knock this item off the To-do List before I leave for the US for Turkey Day? Let's cross our fingers together.
Meanwhile, as I write this posting, I am waiting for the electricians to arrive... they are two and a half hours late!!!... AND FINISH the darn electrical plant. Personally, I am praying that someone, somewhere, somehow has already invented... to absolute PERFECTION... an electrical system REQUIRING NO WIRES so... when I flick a switch... the chosen electrical instrument... like, maybe, A LAMP!!!... will light up. I dream to knock-off the electricians off the same List. Hope is my middle name, if not now my last!!!
So, thankfully, I came upon this photo of il Poggiolo taken in 2009. Muddy mess. I am heartened that we have made Progress and have moved on since then. But, we ain't there yet!!! Gads.
