Outside complete
The
outside of the new
gites is finally finished. The last month or so has been hard physical
work, but rewarding. Our aim was to get the outside finished
before the start of the season so we are only about a week late, but
Easter was early this year. Is that a good enough excuse ?
The last lorry load of gravel was spread yesterday after Ian and I finished laying the new patios. Driving the vibrating wacking machine over the pavers was noisy but quite good fun.
For the gite on the left I've built a ramp - lined with, I think, rather stylish granite edging stones - up to the doorway to allow for wheelchair access. The downstairs of this gite has a downstairs bedroom and bathroom en-suite with planned disabled facilities; wet room style shower, wall bars for the toilet etc.
Carolines painted the railings at the front, made up some trays of pansies and started planting up the flower beds. Hopefully I've given her enough time to get the beds established for the Summer.
