One week left
A month ago I said the first new gite would be finished by the end of next week.
Over two weeks ago I said the first new gite would be finished in a week or so.
Well it isn't yet! There's been a few distractions and things have taken much longer than expected. We have been busy most days but minor finishing touches keep cropping up and take ages to finish. Caroline has finished painting all the door frames and architraves, and put lassure (kind of varnish) on the oak window sills, various bits of wood trim and a window that I built. The oak window sills look really good, the lassure has brought the grain out of the wood.
I've put an unplanned door and some plasterboard under the stairs to cover the hot water cylinder. More painting and rubbing down in the downstairs bedroom, three loft hatches, some loft insulation (horrible job), cover for the fuse box, ... You get the picture.
The gite will be finished by next Saturday. It has to be because we've taken a booking. Arggg. As long as I don't slash my wrist open again everything should be fine. So, photos of the completed project next week :-) Fingers crossed.
