Floor removal

The demolition of the floor started a pace this morning.

As a nice suprise for the digger man, we seem to have two concrete floors in the barn. It looks like it was previously a cow shed with a flat floor and troughs (mangers?) round the edge for feeding. There are series of rings set into the wall to which the cows must have been tethered. At some time a new floor was laid on top with two gulleys running down the middle of the floor. We suspect it was for veal production, because the newer addition of the 'lean-to' had a hot water cylinder and some sort of drainage to possibly prepare the warm milk feed for the veal.

He's shifted about 5 lorry loads of rubble and there is a fair bit still to do.

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.
