    Una recomendación . La parte de acera de la casa no la dejéis con grava (piedra molida ) ya que filtrará el agua a la casa y producirá humedades . Os recomiendo poner un plástico todo el perímetro de la casa y echar hormigón . El tema de humedad es muy importante , tenerlo bajo control . Suerte en vuestro ilusionante proyecto .
