New Doors

Latest picture of gite renovation. Click for larger image.The menusieres came today and installed the two new front doors in both gites.

I have been working alone for the last few days on the placo. I've been doing all the fiddly bits, over doors, round the veluxes, the window bays, etc. Lots and lots of small bits of plasterboard. I think all the in-filling is going to take longer than putting up all the main boards. The worst part is that as we approach the end of the placo upstairs it means there is going to be days and days with a spatula in hand filling all the joints and gaps.
It's got to the point upstairs that I carry a screwdriver round in my pocket so I don't get trapped in a room cos none of the doors have door handles yet.

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.
