Update on our french renovations....

Our renovations are taking shape now. We can see the bathroom, laundry and living area and will be most glad once a downstairs toilet is installed.

Bathroom and Laundry area before walls installed.

Same area with walls now erected.

Same area again with plasterboard.

And having a laundry again will be heaven.

I still haven't worked out where or how the french people soak anything without a laundry tub or laundry room for that matter. It is common for the washing machine to be in the kitchen of most french houses.

The roof tiles are almost all laid.

The builders are waiting for a few fines days to finish off the pointing to the side wall.

They have almost finished the plasterboarding.

They have installed one of the velux windows (skylights).

A second will be installed into the bathroom.

They have installed the windows but are waiting on the door to arrive.

We are hoping they will be finished by the first week in June so we are then able to paint and hang curtains and furnish before our youngest son visits in July.

There are 3 public holidays here in France in May but our builders - being English - have continued to work on these days.

Which has been great for us.







This is our new water tank which will be installed at the corner of the extension.

Will post the finished product once completed.

Au revoir pour maintenent.
