Title: when will the building end.
Post by: sue mac on May 10, 2007, 19:57:26 PM
Whilst in Ovacik last week, I was quite disappointed at the state of the roads, the surroundings to some of the new complexes, and the unfinished sports complex.  There are piles of rubble and bricks everywhere. I know it isnt just Ovacik, its the same wherever there are new builds, but its really annoying to see the lovely complexes spoilt by the roads leading up to them.  I was chatting to a friend who lives out there. She has heard that there is a time limit on the new build now (either this winter or next) after which time no further building will be allowed, and time will then be spent tidying up the area.  Has anybody else heard anything like this?

I read in either the Fethiye times or Land of Lights, that building work had to stop on the 15th May this year. This does not include working on or the re-laying of roads.

The stopping in May law only applies to designated tourist areas. It does not apply to residential areas and I would guess that places in Ovacik have now extended beyond the tourist area.

PORCOZ......You can buy it in Migros...|Carrefour etc.  Costs about 1.60 TL in the household  cleaner section.  Brilliant brings the grout up like new. Use a small brush -Apply neat and wash down afterwards. Warning it is very strong and will take the skin off your fingers....... WEAR rubber gloves! :)

We diluted 50/50 and used a mop and that worked ok. We planned on doing it with a brush but we were told a mop works just as well, so we tried it.  Perhaps depends on how big an area you have to clean as to how you fancy approaching the task.  DO NOT USE ON MARBLE!!!!!!!

The new sports complex is right by our complex - Oaklands. we were originally horrified when we found out that the beautiful olive grove right by our complex was being converted into a football stadium!! However it has been created out of local stone, is lush and green and the big walls around will soon be hidden by the trees and rose bushes that have been planted all the way around. Only problem is that I hear they have run out of money.....as usual.
