Another little move around

We have had another little shift around in Au Bellefleur as we prepare the B&B for the Easter rush, and the ongoing building works for the next two rooms.

We now have a new cosy office with an en-suite bath/shower, as we have moved all our computer equipment into what was our old bathroom. Blogging from the shower, now that is an interesting concept, luckily the laws of physics dictate this is not a good idea, so please do not try this at home, as they say on some TV programs.

Having moved all the computers and cleared our old downstairs bedroom we are ready for the builder to knock through a doorway into the new bathroom I have been working on. I stripped a bit of the old plaster board off the wall around the window of the bedroom as it was wrecked anyway to see what sort of a damp problem we have, and it is what can only be described as potentially big. I have found another French stone wall that has basically been tanked meaning it is sealed on both sides so the moisture stays in the wall. If the whole room is like the little bit I have looked at so far then this room is going to be the biggest challenge yet to get sorted out. Hacking off all the old concreting & plastering could take weeks, gulp... I'll have to think about this...

Watch this space, more updates after Easter?..
