dig dig dig ... dig the whole day through
I spoke too soon about the 'lean-to'. It looks like it has had it's chips. When the digger man (I must ask him his name) and the foreman where talking yesterday about the excavation I thought I heard DM say that the lean-to was shaking and cracking whilst he was breaking up the floor, but my French wasn't good enough to be sure. Well today Caroline asked and yes, the lean-to is not fairing terribly well. On Monday we have a meeting with the grand foreman and will decide on wether to demolish and rebuild, or patch and continue. I suspect demolish.
We've always been told you get suprises and nothing is straightforward with groundworks.
I was just about to post (it's 20:15) and DM has returned with lorry and is currently digging in the dark!

Laundry room
The final staircase man came, measured, and left. The quote is in the post.
The laundry room is almost finished. Caroline has glossed the doors and stained the frames and architraves. I've finished painting the walls and fitted a couple of shelves. A couple more shelves in the linen cupboard and a new coat of paint on the floor and it's finished.
