All windows in place

It's taken a while but all the oak window frames are now in place. There is still a bit of stonework to do around each frame to ensure that they are secure.

The roofer was expected this week but because of the bad weather they should be here at the start of next week. Fortunately they can start on the back putting in the veluxes. That should give me a little more time to finish the window frames and fit the roof timbers.

All window frames in place

I've ordered the five windows for upstairs which should be available for collection in two weeks. Once the roofers have finished I can fit the windows and see some real progress.

These are my experiences of renovation and 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. Stories about the road to this point will be added in due course. Renovation nightmares, builders, stress, etc. Stay tuned.
