Mud, Mud......

But it certainly ain't glorious. The septic tank finally did go in today after Patrick had dug out some more rock. Cyrille had to hire a digger equiped with a big pneumatic drill! It was a very precarious operation particularly with all the mud.


















We have had a lot of rain recently and the weather forecast is unsettled for the forseeable future. I was therefore horrified when John told me that the builder has booked a large lorry for tomorrow to get rid of the enormous piles of rock and mud in the courtyard. Yes we are anxious to see that lot gone but not when it is so wet. However we are going out tomorrow so we will only come back to see the mess on the road and in what was called the garden.

















Nevertheless we continue to make progress. John has got his metal work up for the final wall to be plasterboarded in the bedroom. JP has finished the second window in the attic bedroom.











We bought a compressor on Saturday so that we can sandblast the exposed stone in the house. We decided that a slightly smaller machine than the one we were going to hire would make the job more manageable. However we are cowards and decided that we would not "play" with the sandblaster until the weekend when there will be no-one around. Its not so bad making a fool of yourself but we would rather not do it with an audience.
