On the first day

This is going back in time to June 2010 when they started taking the roof apart. The first job to be done was to stop the rot and that will be achieved by putting a new roof on.  There are 4 sections the main section, the house and 3 adjoined outhouses where Manolo the previous owner used to store his gear for collecting and maintaining, olives, carob beans and almonds. There was evidence of post harvest bun fights the presence of which nobody ever seemed to mind. Pity that Manolo didn't attend to the basic maintenance of the building on a occasional basis still I guess he thought it was sufficient to support the odd bat and mice who have adopted it for their home.

Let me at this stage introduce you to Sebastía and Carlitos who will be principle in transforming the building into a
thing of wonderment. You will see them from time to time as changes take place. They are quite shy and prefer to remain anonymous. Then there is the guy that takes the photographs call him  Pancho, strange name I thought for someone from Belfast but that is another story. He has been useful at times.
