Renovation of The Square

[Sparky]

Hi Jupiter, it's a bit slow at the moment as they are laying the new crazy paving but i will get some more photos later today. Because all the lights have been taken down the square is very dark at night , i really hope they don't take too much longer to finish the job .

Thanks Sparky,

Looking forward to seeing it in all its glory when we come out in a couple of months (that's if it is finished!!!)

10 days and counting...hope its nearly finished then..or shall we pack a torch

[Sparky]

Lots of activity today, all the railings are now in place, new plants and trees have been planted and they are working on the last area of new crazy paving across from La Piazza, then it's just the new lights to go in....maybe it will be finished for Easter, fingers crossed, i certainly hope so .

Sparky,

Yeah it's looking much better now but heard one of those local "rumours" yesterday that they've run out of paving stones and it has to come from Madrid ??

Been so dark haven't seen you yet !!

I would have thought that's part of your 'living the dream` not expecting to get anything done on time in Mallorca

Ray,we don't know a time and Sparky was just making an observation on it being dark.
BL relax it l;ooks like all the paving is down!!!!.

Having seen the parts of the 'renovations' to the Square which have been completed I can't say how disappointed I am. The stonework (and cement of which there is a lot) for the new crazy paving is of an incredibly poor standard compared to the original which it haphazardly adjoins and the finish of the pointing is third rate in comparison.

Such a shame. They are now working on the (Tramuntana winds) feature in the centre of the square.

What a shame indeed....I must admit from looking at Sparky's photo's I didn't hold out much hope that it would ever look as good as it did in the photo's I posted some good few pages back!!.....maybe it will in time!
Would seem such a shame to have spent all that money and the job not done to a good standard.

What is happening to my favourite place? Should I be worried?:

I am sure it will be fine Wyevale. You should never see a job half done.

Adios
