The Portuguese builder as promised turned up at about 8:00pm and we gathered with Marc and Mieke around the table on in the patio area. We then spent I guess a good couple of hours discussing various things about Portuguese life and drinking a serious numbers of Sagres. The builder liked this although it didn’t reduce the price of the build any, but a very pleasant way to do business.
We explained that we still had some other quotes to come and would be comparing over the coming couple of months, hoping to reach a decision by our next visit at the end of October and probably start the build all being well in February 2014.
