Hi everyone,
we bought a cortijo in nortern almeria a few months ago. We have to do some work to it, for example a new roof on one part of the property. A lot of the work is carpintery which is a good thing as we have a carpintery at home in belgium (for now), this is what we do. We just returned from spain, we where there for a month but this was a bit short to look into everything that was needed. We do know that wood prices are at least double of the belgian variant. Because of our carpintery it would be very easy and sheap for us to buy the wood over here where we can also work on it. The thing is transport is also quit expensive as our truck can only load a limited amount of wood which is not enough and we were not able to get accurate prices of the exact wooden products we need.
Maybe somebody knows what are more or less the prices of the following products or similar in the region (or spain in general), the measures don't have to be exact just an indication of what are the ones we would need:
-triplex plates of 6mm (thin plywood 0,24 inch) (cheapest wood type)
-osb boards
-pine beems (cls) 90mmx38mmx3,90m (3,5inchx1,5inchx13 foot)
-tile battens 27mmx38mmx3,6m (1inchx1,5 inchx12 foot)
-wall battens 22mmx45mmx3,90m (0,9inchx1,77inchx13 foot)
And finally, it is not wood but we don't know where to find it over there and don't have an idea of the price either:
plasterboard (2,60mx1,2mx9,5mm) (8,5footx4footx0,4inch)
Thanks in advance,
Jason
