What Is A Good Slogan For Iron

April 2010: the turning point. The showers

------


month of April has its great moments "classics" which of course the "egg hunt" that Jeanne and Blaise refused to relinquish the little retaurant "moules-frites" in Palavas before the "big blue". ... and again this year, a relaxing week at Meze where we rent a bed for that Jane continues his apprenticeship Kite-Surfing.

This training was very compromised this year because there was no wind and Jeanne could make a day of course (what did that to upgrade from the course last year). By cons, Meze is a great gathering place family (Helen and the girls came to spend two days, Tate and Julia came 5 days and cousins Honduran jumped by bus from Montpellier.

Many photos were taken with a series of artistic "lift sun "by Jeanne.
But in this blog, we put you pictures" family "(the daughters and granddaughters of Luke," women "in the port of Meze, and the inevitable photo of" meals "on the terrace of our house) and "debutante" on its sandbank in front of Mont St Clair blowing her veil.



April has also been our research period of a border-collie puppy. After meeting with several producers who have all warned about the dog hyper-active (not strictly in an apartment or small house, he must "work" every day, regardless of the time), missed the award of a male in a litter, Filou should rise late May and should arrive in Guangzhou to late July. Below, one of his half brothers in his favorite position at work on a flock.




April was also and especially the completion of the new terrace Cantou, and the early work of the Granges.


One day, in addition to these two teams, there was also a plumber that we had asked us to devote a day to a whole series of "minor repairs". That day, the Township was a hive of activity.


For Cantou terrace is the weather of previous months that had prevented the tiler to come. This was possible in April, and fortunately, because we had rented the "Grand Lodge" 4 days of Easter holidays (and we're very happy because the "big Gitard" beginning we said they were delighted with the structure, especially the kitchen !!!!, because they could work on several)

return from Meze, so we worked as "madmen" for "trivializing" the ground floor of the Great Room and find space for everything we took away. The exercise was actually quite difficult. Overall, the stay of Cantou found himself crowded (in fact, it looked like we left in motor home), and therefore the space of the terrace was very welcome.



For Barns, due to the delay in approval of building permits, it was not possible to plan the reconstruction of the roof before the influx of tourists.

We're back on the demolition of lean-renovated terrace (which can make a place "base camp" for future work), demolition of floors, chestnut cob and their replacement by " beam-slab "in good concrete.

Well, "barns", released here already and we end up with a pile of wood several feet high (the beams and planking of the lean and floors) and a bunch of identical stones.














There are now tools great for building in areas with poor access. Thus, this bull with a bucket (with integrated maker of concrete) that is at the end of a telescopic arm, which has a "tap" him to fill the wheelbarrows of concrete.


By cons, we reached a beautiful vaulted cellar, and volumes that appear seem very interresting. The potential is there.












Finally, I can not help you with a "little corner" of the farmhouse where we had our last quarterly meeting of the Farmers' Home-Gard (okay, it's the plain, but we were not so bad to chat outside)
