Floor base

The building action started again after lunch today with the arrival of the workmen, three huge lorry loads of herrison (hardcore for the base of the floor) and a bobcat on a low loader. Once they get going, they really get moving. The first lorry load was dumped in the barn, with the other two by the side. The bobcat driver was buzzing around at top speed until, CLANG, the bobcat broke.

The repair guy arrived but failed to fix it. So they resorted to wheelbarrows. Not for long. It's hard work shifting 30 tonnes by hand.

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.
