It is manic on site, Thursday there were about a dozen people working , despite this there is still so much to do. Our working days seems to be getting longer, starting soon after 6am, a quiet time to get finances and booking enquiries up to date. Thijs has been on site equally early.
There are major landscaping changes going on, Ludo has started to compress the road before it receives its top coat. This we will be doing next week. We have 300 tons of surace covering being delivered which Thijs and I will ferry from a drop off point nearby (because we cannot get the large lorries on site)
Dominique has done a great job on the garden and land at le Chene.
It is now ready for being planted the week after next.
This is a picture I have imagined since we started construction, the pool is just missing the water rolling over the edge which is just days away.
In front of our house, the scaffolding that we have lived with for 6 months has finally gone and the courtyard is being levelled and prepared.We even have gutters.
Again this surface will be covered with tout venant. I am painting the garage doors today.
Dominique and Roland prepare the 'plage' this is where the sun beds will be! It will be turfed next week. He is preparing the soil and putting in the irrigation.
The long awaited pool cover arrives. It is 5.5 metres long in a 3 metre long truck!
Resembling a scene from a well known TV show! this is the calm relaxing place to holiday-9 days before the guests arrive!
The telescopic beam that holds the pool cover is in place!
