Yes, I’m back in the Gers – the trip to Haute Savoie turned into a marathon of two weeks work (Wossat??) but at least I as able to spend some time with my youngest daughter and, with her help, completely remodel her new flat.
This all started with an ‘innocent’ question… »Daddy, what do you know about laying floating floors? » As it happens, I have done a couple before, so I do know something about it…but of course, this then developed into, floors, kitchen AND bathroom (but she kept that surprise for the day I arrived!)
This is a small array of tools that I had been using to organise the plumbing. The photograph shows the kitchen part of the floating floor (70m² finally…) This is obviously BEFORE the kitchen.
This is the room now !
Here’s the bathroom…
Before…. …and after!
There are obviously a few ‘finishing touches’ to be made, but I was running out of holiday days and had to get home.
My daughter is very happy with our work – and so she should be – with the help of a couple of her friends she has removed all the wallpaper and painted virtually every surface white (even some of the carpet…) Now I’m waiting for the photo that shows she has been able to mount all the remaining door handles…
For obvious reasons I had very little time to see any sights (despite an afternoon in Geneva) but at least now we know we have a comfortable flat to ‘squat’ whenever we have the time to visit again!!
