Little by little, gites start taking shape! Before long, restoration works will come to a close, craftspeople make way for tourists…

Below, photos show you the screed in the gite 2, which has covered the heating floor and that has being dried since 2 weeks. One week more, the tiles will be put down.

In the gite 1, photos are more scarce but after these finishing touches, see below the ground floor of this gite, more particularly the mezzanine with its quiet spot -on the left, while coming up the stairs- and its space for children -on the right, above the kitchen. Now we should furnish this place but above all, secure it with a banister made of wrought iron.

Soon, in the 1st gite, photos will show you the kitchen, that will be ended in the following days…

After silence of one week in the posts for the “Horizons vendéens“, you can find below the summary of the works, which still go on!

• Front stone wall-to-be of the gite 2

As already explained in the previous posts, the wall -”built with breeze blocks-which is located on the front façade of the gite 2, should be covered with stones. Hereafter, the following steps since last November:

After having laid the ”last” stones and the wood lintels on this wall of this gite, stoneworkers will make way for the workers for the stone face-lifting of this façade. Then, our website should be available on Internet…

• Screed above the tiles in the gite 2

No photo can be available: indeed, the liquid screed was poured last Wednesday, so we should not walk on it for the moment and we should also avoid draughts in this gite because of risk of cracks inside the screed. Now wait and see for some weeks before the tiles can be seen on the floor…

• Tiles in the pool area

All around the pool, in the changing room and also for the machines space, a “standard” screed has been poured and the tiler begins his work next week. Hereafter, photos of the screed:

• Waste water from the gite 1 and from the gite 2

The waste water for the both gites and the changing room of the pool have been well connected to the town services. No photo should be needed to understand this part of work.

• Earthworks begin in the back side of the gites and the pool

The earthworker ,as he was around the gites and the pool, began last week to level this surroundings, more precisely in the back side of the gites and the pool.

• Ceilings in the gite 1

We have fallen the ceilings in rooms like bathrooms and toilets, but also in the living room and kitchen of the gite 1 so that all ceilings are the same and more precisely light. Indeed, we have choosen to lay white panellings so that all rooms should be bright at the most.

After cleaning out stones on 2 walls in the gite 2, and as explained in the post Walls inside the gite 2, we ought to strenghten  the front wall of this gite -weakened- with a “grey coating”, then in order to avoid loosing too much place, we have choosen to get a coating instead of having placo with  a finishing touch of paintwork , so the colour will be the same as the coating on the other walls of the living room.

Hereafter photos showing this finishing touch in this gite:

In order to have a more precise idea of the living room of this gite, any complementary photos:
