Consolidation
With the first gite (Fraise) finished and the guests installed, it's back to work. However there was a major amount of tidying up and sorting out to do in the second gite (Abricot). As we neared completion over the final week we just dumped all the spare materials, packing, off-cuts and all the various tools and equipment into the gite next door. By Sunday it was choc-a-block full of stuff. You could hardly walk across the floor.
The last couple of days I've been to the tip (rubbish dump) with three van loads of junk and had a major clearout of my workshop and barn. Once I'd made space in the barn and workshop it meant I could move everything out of the second gite and sort out all my tools etc. and make a clean fresh start.
Amazingly I've only lost one screwdriver in the whole eight months, but seem to have gained about ten 5mm drill bits. All the spare electrical, plumbing, screws, nails, etc. are nicely sorted into boxes and easy to hand. It did get to the point at the end where it was quicker to go to the shops for a much needed part than rummage through the debris looking for a piece. I think this time I'll be a little tidier and more organised.
