Toasty

We're pleased to report that we've finished the jointing in the dining room, and we can't believe how many draughts we must have sealed up now!







I'm relieved to say that Sue's very happy with the way the room is looking. I've taken this photo showing the wall lit up so that you can get some idea of the effect of the lights in the floor.

As you can see I'm setting up ready to start on the ceiling, but the room isn't finished. We've hit a problem with the wall finish on the wall of the arch. The French use a product called 'crepie' which is a bit like ready-to-use plaster with bits in it. Sue hates the finish it gives!!

Having put the crepie on the left hand side of the dining room side of the arch, she's now talking to an english plasterer!!!

It was a glorious afternoon so we did a small tour of the garden, accompanied by the cats. We have decided that we need to take advantage of this good spell of weather to do some tree trimming.

It never ends.
