More french electrics

Saint Bérenger

Another day helping out a friend with some electrics. I fitted the last few lights and had to wire in a new circuit in the kitchen cos all the lighting wires and switches left by the previous owner were dead. A helping hand with some sink plumbing and to move a radiator in the middle of the kitchen (don't ask). At least the kitchen is operational and they can now see in the dark. It gives them a little breathing space to find a local tradesman. It's always difficult in a foreign country especially if you don't speak the language very well. I remember the massive list of jobs that needed doing to our place, but I'm very handy so I did most of it myself except we hired an electrician to safety check all the gites.

These are our experiences of running a gite business in Brittany, France. A gite is the French equivalent of a country holiday cottage. French culture, language, taxes and bureaucracy. Find out about our gites using the links on the LHS. This is our fourth season (2006) and we are looking forward to the summer. Stories about the road to this point will be added in due course. Renovation nightmares, builders, stress, schooling etc. Stay tuned.
