Christmas 2010

Well is Christmas and snowing again. 1 year on and a lot has happened so I thought is would be good to recap on a few of the achievements this year.

So this year then, well we've built a shed..Described as:

• "the poshest shed in Basse-Normandie!" Review by A Taste of Garlic
• "a frankly fantastic garden office" Review by Shedworking

And the house:

• Put in the first floor oak beams and floor board
• Made and fitted the rest of the windows
• Built the internal walls downstairs
• Connected the electricity
• Plumbed and fitted the downstairs bathroom
• Dug and installed the fosse and pumping station
• Built the laundry
• lined the chimney and fitted the Esse
• Lined and insulated the kitchen walls
• Rebuilt various sections of stone wall
• Made two bathroom cabinets, a kitchen table, one internal door and three workbenches.
• All the other stuff to enable the above....

Not sure whether that sounds a lot or a little, but either way its been a lot of work. Added to that of course there has been all the other administrative stuff associated with moving to a new Country and settling two young children into the local schools.......

Well there's plenty more to do, so after Christmas it's back to the grindstone
