The last two or three weeks have seen unseasonable weather here - most frustrating - more rain and certainly more hail stones than is usual for this time of the year. But we still manage to get things done every day and so feel we are moving forwards. And then yesterday early evening we had this rainbow - it was fantastic. The pictures should have been better, but we were so busy admiring the scene that for quite a while we forgot to go in and get the camera to make a record of it!!

We had planned to turn over the first 'sod' for the garage block yesterday - 1st April 2008 - but . . .

We will blame weather lapses over the past little while puttin us a bit behind and the fact that I have suddenly got the most appalling cold which is meaning I am not working up to speed!!

But we did put up this notice on one of the old barn doors. This is a legal requirement showing details of the work to be done, including the Planning Permission number from the Mairie's Office. So, we are at least, a fully fledged and legal building site now!!

And then . . . . we had to have a tea break . . . !!

And then . . . . .

And then . . . . .

Well - this is were we started!!

Saga of a Chicken House/Garden Tool Shed!!

Although this amazing building is not finished yet thought it was time to start putting some 'before' and 'during' progress pictures here for you to see!! The 'after' pictures will be added in due course.

It has taken a little longer for the construction to be done, but it must be remembered that at the same time Gavin has been building the block wall between our property and the garden of the lady next door and on quite a number of days we have been hampered by snow, hail, wind and rain!!
