The plumber I told you about makes iron bars for balconies-not the whole balcony-you will need a builder.

See the conversation we had with the Leftheris about our lost balcony:<br /><br />http://democracystreet.blogspot.com/2009/04/village-resurrection.htmlsibaddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02385376572555781755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529695619390445231.post-18061676838709188322009-08-23T02:31:40.595-07:002009-08-23T02:31:40.595-07:00I don't really know, they might have.

But I know this family, they've been doing this for years (in the same place but with traditional means)as they live on it along with their plumbing business. They also make iron gates and balconies. The father started this and his son , Vasilis, is now the owner.Lianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16029172933973795720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529695619390445231.post-29291984199315115392009-08-18T07:10:18.688-07:002009-08-18T07:10:18.688-07:00It's so good to see a small business working w...It's so good to see a small business working well with local produce.

I happened to be there 2-3 years ago while they were working and I was amazed at the new technology they had installed.Lianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16029172933973795720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529695619390445231.post-43556347987454351072009-08-16T12:05:47.790-07:002009-08-16T12:05:47.790-07:00I first noticed the olive oil factory from our bal...I first noticed the olive oil factory from our balcony because in chilly February it was well floodlit, open all night working 24 hours.sibaddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02385376572555781755noreply@blogger.com
