 |
|
Hi guys,
As some of you know, I live in a large complex called "Vista Rosa" comprising 62 units.
Unfortunately, they were built with "untreated" timber in 1999 and a couple of years later our problems started.
Fortunately, we settled out of court last year by way of a Mediation in December and were awarded a fair amount of money for reconstruction work.
Work began in full swing on the 1st of May this year and about 30% of the buildings are ready. My turn to move out for about 3 months comes in early Jan. 08.
Here ya go, guys.....
The new ones, all done up!!
Here's a picture of my unit 60 - you can see how shabby it looks!! :(
And these with work in full swing!! 
Wish me luck, guys - JJ

So do I JJ but if we lose it's not the end of the world. No one gave us a chance at the beginning yet we reached the final. After watching the football against Russia, we could do with a good result. |

Sorry to hear of your housing problems but the settlement sounds positive. I hope the work progresses quickly and you're back home soon.
