Hi from Campo Granada

Hi all;
Just a quick intro.
My wife and I moved out here in August 2006 and have been learning a lot...
mainly the hard way!
We live out in the campo about 25 minutes drive from Granada airport.
We have a teeny weeny house in a teeny weeny village.
We have three dogs who have managed to turn our pequena casa into a 50000 euro caja de perros!
Among the many things we have learned is never trust a Brit builder; he may mean well but when the going gets tough...forget it! (There may be the odd exception to the rule but ours was something of a vaquero!
And never trust a Spanish plumber...
One day we will get around to finishing the place...one day...maybe manana!

Hello & welcome.
Yes have to agree about the plumbers & I do all my own plumbing now and make a far better/tidier job than they ever did.
