Down in the Grotto...

...Santa's elves are very busy.  They are busy at Mas de Bouye as well!  I've started doing the jointing, although my first attempt yesterday failed to pass the inspection and, with a subtle change of colour and depth of joint, I was able to continue today.

And this is in addition to numerous consultations with the Clerk of the Works about the finish and colour of the plasterboard in the chimney hearth.  At various times it has been textured, then plain, white then black, stone colour and now pale grey.  Sue and Guy went to the shops yesterday and came back with colour charts and I now await the paint mixed to the required shade.

Happy Christmas.
