2021 Renovations
2021 was the year that the major renovations and improvements were completed.
Most notible was the renovation of the attic space, the gite roof and barn floor. Sadly some of the heavy machinery also damaged hidden pipework, which had to be replaced.
Internally we continued painting and decorating.
From 2022 onwards we could take a little break and focus on improving quality-of-life experiences.
Atelier Waste Pipes
When the main house roof was fixed, we then noticed the toilet in the Atelier had issues.
Attic
Insulation of the walls and laying new flooring as well as a new bathroom.
Barn Floor
After being dug up for the rainwater, it was decided to concrete the floor.
Cellar Post
The stone on which the main central pillar was supported, was collapsing.
Chalet
She has been painted, and had the roof and flooring replaced.
Gite Roof
Renovating the Gite roof proved to be the toughest "surprise" of all.
Railings
The rails on the balcony entrance and window guards needed attention.
Shutter Hinges
17 hinges were broken, all needing the stone removing and resetting.
Wall, Gate & Pillars
The entrance gate needed widening and the wall rescuing.

This bedroom was not too bad. We justed wanted to remove the blue band and water damage.

This space was in need of plastering. It also had to have water damage removed and replastered.

The lintel above the 1st floor rear hallway window had a dangerous crack.
