Once again we are battling with the weather. Our builder Thijs has lived here 20 years and amongst other interests record the rainfall, this year we are now up to 1000mm which is 1 metre , A record by far. We have 1 or 2 stunning clear days then torrential rain which plays havoc with our land which becomes a mud bath.The guys are desperately trying to get a protective 'first coat'of render on the house before Christmas.
We are now covered in scaffolding whilst the first floor is done. Karen and I will be fast on their tails painting the windows (Karen) and shutters(me).
The picture above shows where the bottom right of the house has had the second coat of render.The upper just the first coat. Our Study to the far right is still naked!
Question; once the render is finished and scaffolding is down how will we clean this window? Answer - with difficulty and not often!
Ginger getting her paws dirty doing her regular inspection.
And despite the cold the pool at Le Chene is almost finished and will be full of water by tonight. An electric cover will soon be fitted.
