Windows finished

Armed with 36 tubes of silicone mastic I had the remainder of the windows in my sights. Five of them went in very easily, with just one other causing me a slight probem because the window sill wasn't level - and hence square to the walls - it wanted to twist the frame.

I ended up using just over 2 tubes of mastic per window. By the last two windows I had to use my left hand to operate the mastic gun cos my wrist was shot. Caroline also had to do a bit of surfing to find out the solvent for silicone sealant. I'd wiped my hands on my overalls so many times some of it had rubbed off onto the glass. A bit of white spirit was all that was required.

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.
