There is a stage in the works where it all seems worse than when you started. It's just an impression of course, at least that's what I'm told. Roof is still off and open to the elements. The good thing is the weather is such that one might even contemplate a night's sleep under the twinkling stars. La Indulgenza is going to have to get used to being a free spirit for a while.
The one great thing I was pleased to see when I arrived at Birgu was that the room upstairs is going to have one hell of a high ceiling (see picture on top). We used bricks at the back of the room because the room upstairs is going to have white board walls anyway to introduce some contrast to the rest of the lime stone walls in the house.
The library's low ceiling (which is also the bathroom floor) has been removed out of a need for an uninterrupted floor at the bathroom level. It was either this or an unpractical and possibly dangerous step in the bathroom. The bathroom of La Indulgenza will be one of the main features of the house. We could not afford to compromise on a room where we are going to spend a substantial amount of our budget on.
Having a bathroom on top of a library can be cause for trouble in the future unless precautions are taken to make sure no water makes its way downstairs. Practical considerations were discussed ad infinitum with the architect and the contractor.
