Piano / Keyboard Lessons

Hello everyone,

I've managed to get some good photos of the development, some outside and some inside (i've posted them up).

All of the internal photos are of Blocks D and A1, with the most complete examples being from Block D. The external photos are self explanatory of course.

So, to summarise, Block D1&2 are basically finished - the only thing that was missing was light switches/fittings and plug sockets (bare wires through holes are visible on some shots). Bathroom suites (excellent but a lttle crowded, I might ask the developer to remove the bidet), shower suites (compact but certainly useable), kitchen units/worktops (cheap but very satisfactory), glazing, shutters (which are very neat btw), tiling, painting, fitted wardrobes, (locked) front doors, intercom unit, utilities meter are all fitted to Block D1&2! Though there is going to have to be a huge clear up job - there is plaster, bucket fulls of dust, some rubble, some timber, occasional tiles - to get it in a state for someone to live in.
Block A1 is in a similar state, but probably even more dirty! I would say that A1 is at the same stage but without bathroom ceramics fitted (in the ones that i went in). I noticed some solar panels at the end of block A1, too.

Underground parking area doesn't have any concrete laid in it (Block D) - just the sub-base material which underlays it. Not quite sure how big a job that is - a concrete wagon can't drive into it (too low) and would be tricky to pump concrete into it (about 30-40m from entrance to back).

One thing that might excite some people (as it does me) is the kitchen/living space. This area is quite large but it is open plan (of course) but I would suggest that the kitchen could be enclosed (with party walling) and also an extra room could be created between the kitchen and the terrace. This extra room could be (i think) be large enough to house a bed or an office or simply a store/utility room, it also has a shuttered window. If things get moving soon, I will probably be asking the developer to incorporate these changes whilst they are still possible. So 2 beds could become 3!

Regards,

Faz

p.s. I have a lot more photos which i'm trying retrieve from my mobile phone (which is an even better quality than my actual camera, pity my PC isn't up to the job!). I'll put these up this week.

Hi Faz, the photos are absolutely brilliant, and a very welcome site to see.  For the first time in nearly 5 years I feel I can see the end of this, still on the horizon somewhere, but at least we can see the horizon.

Well done for getting access.

We are going out in October, so will also take photos and post them.

Hi AHandley,

Thank you. I'm pretty pleased with myself for getting into the site and taking photos, thought i was going to have to fight off some rabid dogs or (rabid) security guard! Luckily i went late and no one was around.

Anyway, it does look very positive, the Blocks D1 and D2 do look particularly impressive. You should take a look at the size of some of those balconies (from actually on them), they are huge - i'm tall and i paced one of them at 9 paces by 5! I'm still wondering why they have gone to the trouble of getting them looking almost complete on the outside - they've obviously been painted pure white quite recently (inside and out). Is this something to do with the Junta and their decision, could it be based on what they will finally look like? maybe its just for promotional purposes, i know they have some new large poster size photos up in the sales office.

However, it looks there might not be much progress for a few months now whilst they await the Juntas' decision. I'm going again in early september so i will obviously post some more photos then.

Bye for now,

Faz

oops! nearly forgot to say, i've just rememberred to put the rest of the photos up. I don't think there's much new being shown but from a few different angles.
