Staircase arrived
Early this morning our two made-to-measure staircases arrived flatpack along with two men to fit them in the gites. They had to be custom built because of the high ceilings in the gites. A few weeks later than we hoped but here at last.
The two workers have been beavering away all day and have erected the framework and about half the steps. It should take about a week to do both staircases in the gites.
It will be a relief once they are finally installed, not just because we are fed up with ladders, but the gites are now starting to look habitable, especially with Caroline starting to fit the first kitchen and my friend Ian fitting the santitaryware in the two bathrooms.
A little visible progress lifts the spirts somewhat after alot of hum-drum preparation work.
