Some random notes about our renovation of a barn and cottage in the Dordogne.
Sunday, February 11, 2007
The columbage in the amster bedroom almost done. They need to move the entrance to the 2nd bedrooms en-suite to the right.
Not much going on in the master bedrrom yet.
Starting to look like it will end up!
One week on (11th FEb) and almost all of the stone work is complete. It's looking really good.

overhead kicthen plan
Here's my plan for the kitchen. The architect needs it to plan the electrics. It's a bit sketchy at the moment... We will probably go for a shaker style, white wooden kitchen and a traditional range, as well as a proper hob and oven..

Very dusty
Little bricks filled under the straightened wall.

The sand blasting begins!
Still a building site. The pile of sand is to be used to sand blast the old wood and brick to clean it up.
The stuff that we ordered from Morocco arrived and was waiting for us (after a long debate with the seller). The chairs were put straight to use in the only cosy room in the little house.
It was very cold this trip.
The outside rendering is complete..
The wall between the salon and the second bedroom was knocked down as it was rubbish. It will be rebuilt with a partition wall.
