Finishing touches

After my enforced lay-off last week it's been back to light work in the gites. After our friends left it was back inside the first gite to complete most of the little finishing off jobs. Skirting boards, architraves around the doors, plinths under the kitchen cabinets etc. It should be no suprise to me, but the final finishing off jobs take ages. Alot of fiddly little jobs that you can't get your teeth into, however it's the finish that makes all the difference. Adding skirting boards really helps to complete room.

Hopefully, fingers crossed and barring any more accidents, the first of the two gites should be finished by the end of next week.

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.
