Moving On

We had another site meeting this morning with the electrician, this time. He (Christian) is very nice and helpfull and also speaks a little english. However, all of this dealing with the artisans is wonderful practice for our french.

We seem to have reached the end of this phase of demolition and today, Monday, our 2 men have started preparing the walls for the new concrete floor beams; they are making a concrete 'ledge' for the beams to sit on. It looks drastic and we hope the house stays up until they put in the beams and then 'rebuild' the walls around them.

We're off to the UK tomorrow morning 2 am and we're planning to return by the 4th December. Everything should look a lot different when we return!
