Renovation Project - Creating a vaulted ceiling in France

Renovation Project - Creating a vaulted ceiling in France

Well after almost a week of nonstop sunshine and heat, the sort that actually caused sunstroke, so a big tip never paint all day without wearing a hat! The rain is too return which means the gable end of the house cannot be painted just yet.

Time to change our schedule again. We look at the room that was the old bathroom and decide this can stay as it is for a while longer, we will be starting on the little house.

We still have to decide how it is going to look; we want to make it so it can be fully independent of the main house. The biggest problem will be the stairs and where these are going to go. This is something we have discussed many times and changed our mind on many times, so we are going to leave it there for now and go to the first floor.

There had been a fire some years ago and part of the roof was replaced this means that the wood covering is two different colours. We want to remove all of this and leave it as a vaulted ceiling.

John removes the wood and the room looks so much bigger.

Everywhere is given a quick clean and he starts too add the insulation, we only have so much, so this is used up. We will need to buy more when we go shopping later in the week.
