New plan for the gite.

Looks pretty but...


...cheeky Deathwatch Beetle has eaten our beams! It's going to be a problem sourcing timbers to replace the damaged ones that aren't in the same (rotten) condition so we're gutting the gite and starting again with nice clean timber, whitewashed walls, nice safe wiring, and a simple, nice kitchen. We'll then let it out to re-coup the costs. Another job is added to the List!


Amazing what a Dyson will hoover up - this hollow bit of wood is holding the floor up!

Looks pretty, but half of that big rustic beam is made from plaster painted black, which is now falling off. The white ceiling is chipboard as well!

Dyson power again: this beam looked solid until it disappeared into the vacuum cleaner's nozzle.

This is the result of not living in a house during the winter. A complete bag o' bollox, so it is, to sort out, but when it is it will look great. Might even move in!
