------------------ Before you drink photos of progress of the renovation of the "barns" still give the new family.
After a year's absence from Canton, sister Frances has graced a few days in early February. She broke out in the cleaning of the garden
needed it. With his help, we've almost got our delay in the preparation of spring work (removing all faded flowers and stems, slash-chestnut leaves, the fight against the broom ....
On Friday afternoon, we even offered the restaurant, the hotel school's learning of St John which has a value for money unbeatable
(since it only pays for food and non-labor) and in the evening a "canvas" with our mobile cinema in St Jean (for "Small handkerchiefs, a little overrated movie for my taste). On Sunday, Montpellier are mounted (with Claire bonus) to celebrate the anniversary of Liliane. Height of pleasure, while present, it was sunny and warm enough so we had lunch on the terrace.
The following weekend was that of St Valentine, but as everyone knows, for me February 14th is also my birthday so my birthday. 5 years ago (already), it was a good restaurant in Paris with the whole family, but for this single half-dozen it was a very good restaurant with Claude and children.
Finally, to remain in the outlets (other than the theater where we saw St John as "Gods and Men" and "La Comtesse de Montpensier") we went on a Saturday night Ales bowling with smala Rossel. For certain lack of training, the scores were pathetic (only Fred and Luke surpassed 100 points), but the evening was very enjoyable.
Obviously, Françoise part, we have continued throughout the month to put the garden: passing the tiller (which, of course, chose this crucial period for going on strike: this year it was one arm which broke the weld on the heavy thrust of Luke), with the usual war against the bamboos (here, Claude, who weeded the seat of strawberry).
Let us therefore turn to one of the great business of the year: the renovation of the barns. The shell (roof, stucco, ...) was finalized earlier this month, and the following work (roof insulation, installation of the "guts" water and electricity, raised the ceiling of our room (which is also attic floors), plastering the walls) are less dramatic than the laying of the roof, and therefore, we limit the number of photos.
Above the photo is interesting because it shows the beams that support the attic floor and through the door (Which leads to the attic), we see the ceiling of the living room with its 20 cm rockwool).
Ci-cons, the floor-ceiling is raised and we see the small hallway serving the
toilet, bathroom and our room at the bottom. Below the picture shows the large living room with a range of bag of plaster at the bottom of the windows have been asked and we do not see rock wool ceiling because "plaquist" came do its job.
Ci-cons, we see the plasterer at work in the old "shack Marc "Which became the" guest room "with direct exit to the terrace and garden
winter. Finally, we must not forget the beauty of the Cevennes pre-spring with flowering quince or apple in Japan and especially that of mimosas.
