The home straight ?

Almost finished plasterboarding the two gites. Shown is the kitchen area from this afternoon with the two layers of insulation, brown paper backed 100mm and yellow 45mm that slots between the metal vertical rails. Because it is the kitchen here's quite a few pipes and cables that need to be run through whilst I'm working.

As a reminder here are the floorplans of the gites, upstairs and downstairs

The lounge area and toilet/wash room are all finished so hopefully Caroline should be able to start floor tiling the second gite in a day or two. It takes a day to clean out all my tools and materials etc.

I'm going to take a break for a few days after this. The tiredness and fatigue is really starting to take it's toll, but the light (for this stage anyway) is at the end of the tunnel. I just don't want to think about filling the plasterboard joints, fitting kitchens, tiling bathrooms or painting and decorating just 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.
