Gite progress!

We got back from the UK to find a nice new floor!


New walls going up upstairs* as well:


Also new oak lintels as the old ones were rotten:


Last but not least, the wall's done!  I deliberately made it wobbly so it matched...


Next is clearing away rubble, digging French drains, making the run-off go away, repointing and then seeing if cracks re-appear.  Decided not to do underpinning yet - it might cause more trouble and if it does need it then we can always do it later on.

* As soon as I have made the stairs... chunky, so they will be.
