Thursday 13th May

Big bank holiday in France today (Ascension Day). No one working but a lot of progress seems to have been made. All lintels are now cast and the block work is nearly finished. Roof  has been delivered!! Looks like the builder wants to get the bungalow finished and move on great!!

Week ending 08/05/2010

Well the build is moving on, very slow. It's a big disappointment that it is taking so long to complete the block work. The roof is supposed to start next week, but there is no chance. I think it will be at least another week to ten days before the roof can start. Yes one of the pictures shows snow! 5th May it snowed and was -1, can you believe it!! Hope to have some better news next week, but don't hold out much hope.

April 29th 2010 block work started!!!

Well at last the builder has started the block work! The last two weeks have seen good progress. Next week the lintels will be cast on site, don't ask why don't they just buy them ready made, remember this is France! The roof should be completed by the end of May so that will mean Tony can get the window and doors in then real progress should start to be made. By the way please notice the colour of the sky, its been great! Well must close keep watching!

The base!

Well after a 3 week break (we don't know why!) the builder is back and the base has been completed. See the photos which show the stages of the base including the services being put in. One photo shows Marilyn putting in 46 conifeers along the bottom hedge, only another 250 to go! Hope the blockwork starts next week!
