"The real issue is when the workers don’t show up and leave for good, so sounds like you’re in good hands from a team of dedicated people assuring a quality product for you." So true! Mudding is an art of itself and you want the perfectionist who goes back again and again. : )

Oh gosh! Getting so close! While I understand it has had its frustrating moments, I do believe it will be beautiful once completed! Best wishes as you move toward the finish and equally fine wishes for much happiness in your new home!

If I were in your situation, I would wake up cursing and continue until I went to bed at night or died of a stroke, whichever, mercifully, came first. But, you persist. Cheers to you. The end product will be lovely.

You’ll have the nicest Customs Hall home in the country once 💯 complete. The finishes are over the top and I’m sure all of your furniture will be exquisite inside. Parabens for being still sane in this stressful endeavor.

Thanks for sharing what must be an exasperating adventure with building construction in Portugal. It looks like when it's finished, it will be beautiful. May it be so!
