Before

The paving is finished on this side

Pile of cedar cladding to go over brick work

The road to Caussade in the distance - with the hill climb cars on it

This side is ready for paving nearly up to the top of the breeze blocks (LOTS OF FILLING! - not me though)

Gabion wall almost finished

The last cages are nearly filled.
9 x 1.5 metre deep cages on the bottom
7 x 1 metre deep cages on the top (plus one 2x1x0.5)
So there are 21.5 cubic meters of rock in the cages - which might be 40 tonnes of rock?

We started on the 7th and it is the 23rd today - 16 days - I worked 4 - Richard did the rest!

April showers

Gabions on the second row - nearly filled - but now it can rain as much as it likes and the bank won't slip anymore.

The gite wisteria

Le somme

Wire cages and mud mmmmm

The result looks good though.

The Wall

Not sure about the finished colour

First layer going on

must learn how to use this, can't be that difficult?

First layer dry, slightly yellow...

Decorating

Nice warming wall and nice and still damp wall!

Working hard

Almost done

Sunny part of the room now

Mess - but hopefully will be okay in the end

Slapping it on.......it goes everywhere

Everything has had to be moved

Will need to light this soon, getting colder now, so hope to finish quickly

More Shutters and Llama Walking

No shutters

New ones going up

Shutters and New Pathway

Nice new Blue Shutters

New pathway from Gite to House

Day out to the Gers

The "stuff" to put on the wall in the sitting room, it was very heavy and we drove rather slowly home...

Stopped in a park/camp site for our picnic, lovely waterfall and grounds

Lake for sailing on, in the summer time
