Hello there,
I just wanted to let you know that things are moving forward with the house... and the rooms are really beginning to look like the rooms that we would like to live in and to have you come and visit :-)
Oh, and that I think Benoit is a god!
Sincerely... we have loads of workers in the house, but Ben is still doing the lion's share of the work. Below is his first attempt at tiling! He had one weekend to tile the bathroom and the toilet and so to be ready for the plumbers to finish fitting the taps and so on... and so he checked out 'how to' videos on Youtube and then got on with it. Simply incredible.
My jobs are more simple but I'm still incredibly pleased because, once Ben and the plasterers had plastered Jack's room, I sanded the walls and then put down the first layer of primer. The end result isn't perfect.. but Jack's bedroom at least now looks like a bedroom.
Now the more faint-hearted among you might not want to read the next lines.... as we are moving into our 'worksite-come-house' in 2 weeks time to stop paying rent on our apartment and, heck, to start enjoying being in our 'Big House.' In real terms that means we're going to be living in dust and dirt for many a month to come, but we REALLY do not care as we are so ready to be living in our new home!
I'll let you know how it all goes when the time comes.
love n hugs to you where ever you are in the world!
