Ayer vi a Roberto y me dijo que est\u00e1s renovando tu casa.<br \/>\nSara: Hola Harry. S\u00ed, es verdad. Estamos haciendo muchas reformas. Es un poco estresante. Vivimos en la caravana de mi padre mientras se hace el trabajo. Hace mucho fr\u00edo y es peque\u00f1a.<br \/>\nHarry: \u00bfQu\u00e9 est\u00e1is haciendo?<br \/>\nSara: Estamos agregando un segundo piso.<br \/>\nHarry: \u00bfQu\u00e9 constructor est\u00e1 haciendo el trabajo?<br \/>\nSara: Pedro Motos. Conocemos a varias personas para las que ha trabajado y todos dicen que es muy bueno. Hasta ahora estamos muy contentos.<br \/>\nHarry: He o\u00eddo hablar de \u00e9l. Tiene mucha experiencia.<br \/>\nSara: Le gusta trabajar con madera y piedra. Es muy tradicional. Y artesanal.<br \/>\nHarry: Me encantan los suelos de piedra, los largueros grandes de madera, las puertas de madera, las ventanas de madera&#8230;<br \/>\nSara: S\u00ed, a m\u00ed tambi\u00e9n. Vamos a tener un nuevo holladero de piedra y enormes ventanas con marcos de madera. Con techos muy altos.<br \/>\nHarry: \u00bfTuviste problemas para obtener el permiso de obras?<br \/>\nSara: Mi padre es arquitecto, como sabes. Hizo los planos y se ocup\u00f3 de todo. Hubo algunos peque\u00f1os problemas con la planificaci\u00f3n, pero los resolvi\u00f3.<br \/>\nHarry: Qu\u00e9 gran hombre es tu padre.<br \/>\nSara: S\u00ed, y sus dise\u00f1os son muy buenos. Mi marido y yo hemos estado ayudando con muchos trabajos de renovaci\u00f3n. He estado colocando ladrillos y poniendo enlucido. Mi marido es electricista y ha estado instalando los enchufes el\u00e9ctricos nuevos.<br \/>\nHarry: \u00a1Qu\u00e9 gran equipo!<br \/>\nSara: S\u00ed, \u00a1y nos estamos ahorrando mucho dinero!<br \/>\nHarry: \u00bfCu\u00e1nto tiempo falta para que est\u00e9 terminado?<br \/>\nSara: Esperamos que est\u00e9 terminado antes de mayo. Probablemente deber\u00edamos haber planeado comenzar el trabajo en mayo. Fue un poco tonto trabajar durante el invierno. \u00a1Nuestra caravana es como un iceberg!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, how did you get on? How much did you understand of the listening?
