This week we had help from Alex "little" brother, Pierre.

So they started by cleaning the area

then by rebuilding the top of the 2 outside back windows.


Looks very nice!!! Just missing to repoint it.....

Next of course was back to the CHAUX!


Here Pierre after he finally managed to put the bucket in place!  We are still on the same wall, it is taking its time....


This coming weekend we hopefully will finish this wall and start the other one.

Lastly few picture that Pierre took from the house.



MERCI PIERRE!!!

The roof is finally finished!


Apart from the Roof few things were done this past weekend, including alot of cleaning as it was a real mess inside...

1)One part of the wall had to be put done, because it was very very weak, it will be redone usine plasterboards...


2) EDF has finally replaced the eletricity board


3)Cleaning had to be done, as after the room and the wall down, the room was a real mess.


Everybody helps


4)An opening was made, from the corridor to the staircase to the loft to the living area, it will be an opening and not a door.
et voilaaa!


5)Finally we also had to fix the internal window, as when the wall opening was done, the lower part colapsed.


Next weekend we have to rebuild the wall, and repoint some of the internal wall. Woohoo!!!

This weekend few things here and there were done...we wanted to finish sandblasting but the machine was out of order .... so hopefully we will be able to finish next weekend if weather allowas......


All the rubble was cleared, thanks to Mr H that did it for free (yes we are popular !!!).
After sanding  and taking all the  concrete from around the cave, we realized that the beam on top of the door was pretty  rotten.

IMG_9726.JPG
So this weekend it was taken out and replaced.
It does looks much much better! Hopefully it will be sanded this coming weekend.

The second bit was to finish the fireplace brick work . Alex added one more row of brick, but i still think we need to add 2 or 3 more bricks on each side.

IMG_9753.JPG
The back windows are almost done as well, we need help to put up the beam as it is huge and very very heavy....so it is not yet in place.

Rocks had to be removed from the chicken house wall.

IMG_9759.JPG

And Finally some of the old lime was removed by hand, as it was far too thick and would need much more sand when sandblasting....

As you can see the fig tree was cut down as well, for 2 reasons, the figues were not that great and it is veryyyyy veryyyy messy/

First  the plaster had to be removed. Very long and boring process.

IMG_8919.JPG IMG_8920.JPG
There is only a little bit missing, because it was impossible to reach.

Now, little photo of the staircase with the metal frame+ the plastic sheets.

Next weekend we are going to put down the concrete staircase, it will be replaced with the tradidional rock staircase.  We are also discussing about taking down the white window surrounding...I hate it!!!! One of them is in Rock the other in concrete, it look added on and not very nice, weird is the word.

This is all preparation for the 5 days sandblasting, before the roof is done.
