Hi again.
I noticed that my diary has gone to the second page, but work is still being done on the restoration. I have some new pictures from Tony that I can add here although I have to admit I'm waiting for more. I'll put them in this message questo fine settimana.
Some new things we are learning that may help you (or not) if you are planning restorations:

There is a standing charge for mains gas of about 40
Euro every two months.

Don't forget downspouts.
Pics from left to right:
1. From the stairs looking at Balcony door
2. New Bathroom wall
3.Terrazzo Door opening
4. Portone, new little window for light in the laundry room
5. Kitchen window--or is it? It may be the entry window, what do you think?(check out the picture of the kitchen near the beginning of the thread (piano, piano post). The wall to the right doesn't look long enough and the light from the other room is coming from the wrong place. So here's the fun part of long-distance restoration!!!
