Ian and I built an almost identical set of stud walling today in the other gite. Each gite is an almost mirror image of each other, so every job we do in one has to be mirrored in the other. This time we learnt our lesson and moved the scaffolding before building the walls around it.

The scaffolding remined me of the DIY horror story involving expanding foam and a canoe.

After ordering ADSL the WiFi box arrived today, after 5 days. Plugged it in this evening and bingo, it works a treat. I'm dead chuffed. I no longer have to read fast thinking about the cost, or get irritated by interruptions. Brilliant. Setup was dead easy (Laptop on WiFi and USB for the desktop PC).

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.
