Floor tiling started

Floor tilesYesterday I finished off all the plasterboarding in the left hand gite, so Caroline - the Bonnie Tiler - started laying the floor tiles this morning. She is laying them on the diagonal, which means extra cuts at the edges, but it looks much better. This is quite a milestone for us because our old stone barn is now really starting to look like a livable holiday cottage.

With the staircases coming to be fitted in a couple of weeks we need to push on a bit to get the tiling done, which means I'm now plasterboarding the right hand gite so Caroline can tile that one as well.

There are are boxes and boxes of tiles stacked up in the garage along with about 25 large sacks of adhesive. I think we will both need a break after this stage.

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.
