The renovations have started
The builders arrived today. Well, not so much a builder more a demolition man. The first job is to break up the existing floor of the barn and then the macons will come and create a new lower and flat floor for improved access. Building on the current floor would make the front doors too high.
The lorry arrived at 18:30 and within a few minutes of unloading the mini-digger we had no water in the house. Fearing the worst we expected a very wet mini-digger driver, but it turns out he had spotted the fact that the rising main was in the barn and turned off the stopcock just in case he fractured the pipe. He didn't know that the supply for all the gites and our house comes from the one meter, currently located in the danger zone.
I think I might go and buy 50m of water pipe + connectors tomorrow just in case.
