Lucarnes roofed

Putting a slate roof on a lucarne (dormer) window.Our roofers arrived a week early, which I'm very pleased about. They have been at it for a couple days and finished both the lucarnes now except the ridge tiles. Each slate tile is attached to the battens with a stainless steel 'double' hook. One end hooks over the batten and the other end clips under the bottom edge of the tile. All the gullies and rain channels are done in zinc flashing, same as the guttering and down pipes. Everything gets soldered up on site to fit.

They are currently tiling the new kitchen roof. It should be much simpler as it's just are large flat area.

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.
