Girl power/ Au revoir Pignon
Hello everyone,
New rule for this week! I am going to write in english and shane will do the french translation... good practice I reckon.
*C'est Shane qui écrit en français cette semaine. Mais il est 1hr du matin, donc je vais faire bref!
First a photo of a new worker we've employed this week. She comes from egypte and is a brilliant belly dancer :)
*Voici notre nouveau charpentier venu direct d'Egypt. Elle bosse bien, et en plus elle fait de la danse du ventre!
So here we are. This week has been pretty full on as it has seen us working on the west wall til midnight twice. The goal as you already know is to get rid of it to make a nice opening for the coming extention. We were lucky enough to have our friend pierre ready to lend us his trailer to drop the rocks in. That was a difficult job, but for shane, it seemed like a peace of cake. Here she is in action:
*On a travaillé jusqu'à minuit deux fois cette semaine pour virer le pignon ouest de la maison. Ca va être l'ouverture qui joint la vieille maison avec son extension.
This is basically were we are up to now. If you look carefully you'll see shane somwhere on this picture too.
*Tu vois Shane là-dedans?
It is hard to see but marcel, our landscaper came with his big machine to prepare the ground for the concrete slab. He'll have to come back to get rid of the rocks that are on the ground.
Marcel "Scoubidou", notre terrasseur, est venu preparer le terrain pour la dalle béton, mais il faut qu'il revienne pour bouger les dernieres pierres enlevées du mur.
Hopefully this week, will see the begining of the concrete slab work for the extention and the belt will be put in place on top of the walls.
*On éspere voir la dalle commencée cette semaine, plus la ceinture en béton qui va au dessus des murs.
Gavin is coming really soon now and it will be quite an achievement for us to have everything ready for when he arrives.
*Notre charpentier/père/beau père, Gavin, arrive très bientôt et ça va être chouette d'avoir tout préparé pour quand il arrive.
by for now.
*Tchao
