Renovating the Gite

We have ripped out the old joists in my parents gite now, and we have been and ordered new along with tongue and groove flooring. The timber should be here tomorrow morning, we will then have to get one joist in place at the height of the stairs and start placing the other 15 level from the first.

In the meantime we have finnished making a small workshop from one of the small out buildings. Which will house my tools, as they are kept in the lean-too at the back of my parents two properties, and this will be coming down to make a larger garden.

Gite Cottage Renovation

Well the concrete arrived and we had it pumped in to the cottage and me and my Dad spread it around and tamped it level. We also laid the floor in the small outbuilding, which I am going to have as a workshop. We need to start moving my tools out of the cottage that we are renovating so a workshop will be ideal.
