I sold my project because the banks refused me the money for construction which was well in the 7-Digit-Euros ... I found relatives whom the banks gave the money and they now started the boring job ;-)
So the project continues in other hands?

And is that a "piledriver" tool hanging from the crane?
Guess that will make the ground shake for the neighbours whilst getting the new foundations in?
