Our builder has added a forth member to the team and all is progressing well. The Gites are watertight, well roof wise although there are no windows! And our bedrooms are soon to be added to the main house. The building project is demanding more and more of our time,which of course we are happy to give! We have just ordered all the
internal doors and chosen sanitary ware - Its not easy choosing for 8 bathrooms!(but it is expensive!)
This will be our lounge. We have just bought a wood burner which will sit in the Chimney recess. We are about to order all the stone and floor tiles. We had quotes in December which are valid to the end of February,(prices have risen in the meantime) so although a little in a advance we can buy at last years prices.
As we are project managing the build it is up to us to prepare the working drawings for the plumber and electrician, both of whom are French and do not speak English so this also keeps us occupied. Karen and I have our distinct roles, I am the finance minister responsible for purchasing and socialwhilst Karen is on design and cuisine!I am officially the 'gerant' of our enterprise, ie the manager whilst Karen is known on site as the admiral - isn't that above me?
The second house is also coming on well. Despite some dubious building methods!
And finally for pet lovers - Ginger posing!
