Pavone is the boss.....this man is the bunny with batteries that runs and runs and runs. He shows up at 7 am....leaves for one hour for lunch and back till 5. He is a retired electrician but for sure sure a man of all trades. His job this time around was to prepare the house for the plumbers for the new furnace being installed...that means.....knock the hell out of my house and make as much noise and dirt that we could enter the Guinness book of records...is there such a category?
Now he is building the chimney for the furnace...sure to get some kind of complaint from our one and only bitchy neighbor...who don't even live in the house next door....its their summer place....but they have complained about everything else...so why not this. We just smile and we are nice to them..as I so want to buy their property......Gino says I am going to have to turn tricks to get some serious $ if it ever comes on the market.
Side note watching BBC news as I type..its my lifesaver...I stay connected to the world outside Enna....and just cooked eggplant parmigiana and 6 scones for the workers to take home as a thank you from me for all the mess they made.
We broke down and hired an architect as Gino and I kept arguing about the front of the house the pool the grounds etc etc....not real arguing just worried we will screw up...cause when its done its done..and as I keep saying nothing is cheap. So it will set us back week or so as he measure and prepares pictures for us. Then we can go ahead and set the pool and plan grounds for the companies we hired for those jobs...boy this is harder than I thought it was going to be.
So we move forward and overall happy with what we have accomplished so far and getting more excited about the end results....main goal is get as much done before the weather changes.
