Horizons Vendeens

As explained in the post “Wood framework in front of the swimming pool“, this new wood space -located in front of the swimming pool- request several craftspeople and is divided into different steps.

After the step “wook framework”, then “terrace and watertightness”, comes the covering with wood panelling.

This wood covering in front of the swimming pool show the advantages of this common space for the both gites with the swimming pool and demarcates well each gite on each side of the swimming pool. Do not hesitate to be curious and come to these gites and swimming pool in Pouzauges.

In order to save place around the swimming pool, we needed adding a “space” for the changing room/toilet and shower and another for the “machines” like heat pump -to warm up water of the pool.
Why was this space planned in front of the swimming pool? To protect tourists’ privacy from the road, but without hidding the stone buildings or shocking anyone in the respect of the Logis listed by the Bâtiments de France.

Our idea: a wood framework recovering with wood panelling in front of the swimming pool. For this part of works during the restoration of gites, we do not know it from Adam. A maximum of photos for the development of this framework in front of the swimming pool should be necessary.

For this, several craftspeople follow them another and you can see the various steps:

Step 1: Wood framework

Step 2: roof terrace and watertightness

Step 3: Wood panelling covering the framework
will follow soon…

Step 4: doors and windows
will follow soon…

As answer to some Internet surfers who wanted to have more photos for these creations and/or alterations of doors & windows of this gite 2, I give you below complementary photos to the post ”Doors/windows-to-be in the gite 2“.

Further details of the gite, almost finished for the stoneworkers:

For those who do not remember the beginning of works in the interior pool of both gites, do not hesitate to have a look on the post “An interior swimming pool, why not?” then on ”Works on the swimming pool start“.

Hereafter photos on the swimming pool step by step, with curbs and gutters:

More details on the curbs and stairs of the swimming pool for these 2 gites.

It remains from now on, no more time before being able to make of small dive in this swimminig pool, which will be probably much before the end of restoration works and openings of the 2 gites, to be confirmed… or why no coming and visiting Pouzauges!
