Hi Matt - this is an old post I think. Could I ask please where you got the windows in this picture. They look lovelyFiona .

Hi Fiona - this is an old topic but was updated recently. The windows were installed about 2 weeks ago (early Oct 2020).

They were made by a company on edge of Bordeaux called Laporte - they were installed by an excellent craftsman from St Foy la Grande-let me know if you want his details.

Quick update on progress:

Kitchen all now plastered (installing kitchen next week) , tiling underway, next to lay new stone in the bottom of the fireplace:

Gate now made and painted and pigeonnière (shed) now refurbished:

Nice job…

It is that :sunglasses::sunglasses:

Thank you for the reply, I’ve only just noticed it. Lovely work on the house.

where is your house.

Villefranche-de-lonchat, Dordogne…it’s mentioned earlier in the thread

Thank you.

Finally started putting the kitchen in today:

Already getting quick at assembling ikea units!

The vision so à little way to go yet! :

I got tendonitis from building Ikea kitchen in the gîte. Hope you have two electric screwdrivers as well as a drill…(one for putting them in, and one for removing them when you realise you’ve done things in wrong order).

(Glad you’ve left a nice space on the right for your spiders to live in…:wink:)

I would get in so much trouble if I bought any more drills etc!

The bizarre shape of room allows for plenty of spider homes!

Impact drivers are the way to go

Yep, have 2 of those! I don’t know why they work so much better, I can’t really explain it, the controllability, the power…

I still use my grandads Yankee screwdriver, just prefer it for some reason.

That’s what I meant, just not good remembering techie words…!
