Hot and cold running water

Hurrah, all the plumbing in one of the gites is finished. We now have a functioning chauffe-eau (electric hot water tank) and taps in the two bathrooms and kitchen.

The chauffe-eau is under the stairs, hence the delay, and it now looks like the control room of a submarine under there with all the various pipes and stop valves. We went a bit over the top with stop taps so we could isolate each of the three bathrooms and the kitchen in the event of a problem in the future. It did complicate things but at least everything works.

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.
