This is an imposing house and it looks so much more practical.
It will be amazing I am sure.
Good luck and enjoy your adventure.

Amazing! Congratulations! I sense sangliers in droves … les terrines! les saucisses!
I’m looking, myself, but when I see places needing that level of work I think - no - I’ve already used up my 'got one last project in me’. 
Kitchen
Only the regulation amount of this
And none of this. Screw into hot water pipe.
But no doubt it will take a lot of this.
Keep us up to date with how things go.

Lots of healthy granulation tissue on that digit @captainendeavour, keep it clean and covered until fully healed, you are going to make use of it guiding your power tools around hot water pipes 
. I know I am preaching to the converted, but… 
And @Brian_Wheeler, many blessings on you both in all you do in your magnificent demeure and many happy days ahead as suacissiers

Peter, I was stupid enough to use the Allen key supplied with the flat-pack kitchen units. That was the result of winding in many a screw. One talks of working ones fingers to the bone … Could have used a power tool.
As for the hole in the pipe, that was done by Santi el Perfeccionista, as he liked to call himself.
The only other blunder in a back to the bricks new everything project was that, after discussion on site about the swing of the bathroom door, Victor el Electricista put the light switch right behind it when open.
Door had to be fitted on other side and opening outwards.

Fantastic buy. My kind of purchase.
Done a few ourselves over the years, no big renos but as someone says on tv, its all about the chase

Brian, this is a far cry from your first purchase. It looks great and I hope you two will be very happy there.
We get to the Mayenne on every trip to France (maybe not this year, though) so keep Survive France posted and when your gite is ready, we might be ready to stay there.

Wow. I want Amanda to be my agent. What part of France is this? And what are the annual taxes on such property? Thanks for sharing, Brian, and congratulations!
