THE RAIN IN SPAIN AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just returned from the sun, yes the electric supply was switched yesterday (monday), but not sure about those apartments that keys are not available for. Marinasol meeting we heard has now been scheduled for 30th, it seems pot luck if you are going to be there, we need a least a months notice to be able to attend, have not had notification of this one, only from people on site over the weekend.

So does that mean that if they couldn't access apartments without a key then there is no power now ?  I hope not as we have a fridge and freezer with food in and won't be there until 4th August - we'll be holding our noses when we open the door... !
We had an email yesterday from Marinasol about next Monday's meeting - how can they expect people to turn up with only a week's notice ? 
Still haven't had a request from them to pay the initial 100 euros ....

Hi Dave again,

Having just sent you a private message re marinasol I have now seen your post on this thread.

I am afraid that you may well not have any electricity. I changed our front door lock beginning July when we were out there thinking that access would no longer be required as the meters would be outside. But today my Solicitor's office checked if the electric meter was now installed OK and was told that they needed access to install an ICP (I think). My brother-in-law has a key and arrangements are being made for him to meet the electricity installers. I assume that the builders electric has stopped so there will be no electricity until then. Fortunately for us it doesn't matter as we left everything turned off.

This is just to confirm that the builder's generator has now gone, and that the few apartments for which access could not be obtained have no electricity.  the change over went very smoothly and they worked around the apartments needing only a few minutes inside. 

We have spent a really enjoyable 10 days in our apartment, and the pool is warm and inviting.  The garden area too is coming on, and is going to look really good.  It was great to meet to more people, and to meet again with Haydn and Judy and Rob and Linda, all of whom continue to be enormously helpful.   I will try to post some photos of the pool and garden for those who have not been over recently.

It was very, very hot.

Hi all. 

I've just posted a few pics taken by Janice last week.  I think the gardens look fantasic.  The toilet/shower area is still a concern though.  Apparently the concrete slab with rails on 2 sides, situated by the pool, is meant to be a wheelchair accessible shower.  Very thoughful except that the base is quite a step up from the ground; far too high for a wheelchair to get up without a ramp. 

Has anyone had the gap under the front door and frame fixed by BMS yet?

Yes recently we spent 2 weeks in our apartment in LO and as an amputee i was delighted see the provision of disabled pool side shower, even though i do take your point terry in regard full wheelchair access. Maybe when things are up and running in the community we could do something about a ramp or even contact Bms in regard to this matter before they go off site.  However in general i would have to give 3 cheers to Bms for the provision of this shower in the first place, i know that might sound unpopular to some residents!, but it is a little thing that will make a difference to my stay at LO when i go there with my family in future years to come.

 PS Calling Mike and Carol 8b, is there anybody out there,  hope you got our email as requested.

Realy good to hear a positive from Los Olivos Andkar, hope you had a good Holiday.

Have just heard that BMS are levelling some of the mountains of earth around the site!!!  This has to be good, and a significant tidy up I think!

Best wishes,

Linda

Hi Linda,

Thanks for update. That is certainly good news.
