Windows collected

I've been flitting about between jobs this week so far. The carpentry work I've had to do for the roofers is now finished. The last lurcarne (dormer window) is now complete and ready for tiling. The guys have almost finished the front of the house. A little bit of general masonry work to repair loose stonework where the roofers have removed the old roof or replaced rafters. I've had to move a purlin (panne) because it was too low and blocked access to a window. A little more concrete work on the doorway I started last week. I'm up to the height of the lintel but ran out of cement. Finally I've been to collect the 5 upstairs windows today which hopefully should be fitted by the end of the week :-)

With luck I should be able to complete most of my current jobs within the next week or so and post some 'finished' photos. So far I am very encouraged by how things are going and it's still an enjoyable experience.

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.
