Over the last week:
- We hired a van and collected the insulation (plus remaining cellulose boards) for our walls - unfortunately the van wasn't hardcore enough to make it down our snowy road so we had to do many trips back and forth with Shabooboo.
- We had a trip to Valence to look at some doors, but to no avail. Followed by a much more successful trip to Puy-en-Velay (the place where Puy lentils come from) and bought some (French) pine doors (which we will match to our oak floor with a natural colour-wash).
- We fitted the first door (the bathroom) after Monkey Boy came up trumps with an ingenious idea of how to fit it. (see pic below)
- We've been continuing to fit the cellulose boards that make up the walls and also started fitting the lovely wool/hemp/wood insulation.
It looks so warm and snug that I want to climb into the walls and have a snooze - but there's no time for that!
- Monkey Boy has been designing and building a cupboard in the hallway/entrance of the house, which is coming on nicely.
- Finally, below are two pictures of Müca who recently hit jackpot when she discovered that lights also give out heat. We were a bit concerned that she might blind herself and moved her away, only to find her straight away back in place "sunning herself".
- oh, sorry I lied this is the final thing, this afternoon Monkey Boy went of a baking frenzy and made bread, biscuits and then my favourite jam tarts!
YUM YUM YUM!!!!!
later
