We are the very end of the building works because in three days the house Odoo should be completed and look fresh and crisply new, ready to receive visitors. The shifts are exhausting, but no one can crush our spirit. The main structures were set on the previous week, and now we install the secondary and coating structures; meanwhile the automation and the mechanical tests and setup go on. Let’s see what happened to us!
