We are now turning our efforts to Le Chene - so just the whole house to do!
Meanwhile Thijs and Ali have spent 4 days preparing the steel framework for the pool in readiness for the concrete.
After a night of heavy rain Tuesday we were woken by the sound of the Cement mixer arriving at 7.30am and the Manitou running up and down to pour the concrete. Note the health and safety rules and Christophe with fag in mouth!!
6 hours later - job done!
And after this work our drive is looking great!Just what I wanted this morning when we were expecting a delivery from Ikea.
They had texted to say they would deliver between 7am and 12 noon. I had just gone back to sleep when they called just after 7.30 to say they were in the village. I directed them to the house but they were in a large lorry and our drive was not going to be easy to navigate. So I went to meet them nearby, promptly going flying as I stepped out side on a frosty plank , then finding the windscreen frozen solid (it was minus 5). Thank fully they were very accommodating and carried the goods to the house. Certainly woke me up!!
