we will all get fat

This kitchen rocks. And I get to tap dance on top of a lucky hawaian turtle.
There will be frog legs for diner tonight!!!

This is were the action is

Yes full action.
Breath in , breath out, snore in , snore out.
In truth the salty air at the beach makes you want to sleep. A lot...
Thierry Aubert

what a cute wall

Even Georges Hamilton would be jalous of such a delightfull ambiance. I get to admire myself at least twice a day in these mirors. That's why they are gorgeous...
Thierry Aubert

we are getting there slowly

As you can see we have opted for a hardened sand path so that it mixes well with the environement. Let's hope that it will last. Today the wind was blowing at a 120 km per hours...

6 oclock and no comment

the corridor

At the end of that long long corridor you can see a major art piece created by a major artist from a major town in a major country of a major continent. This piece is a major work from its major period. The majority of people who see it favor the blue color in the painting.

The frame was created by a minor artisan from a minor town in a minor country on a minor street in a minor shop. He asked for a minor price that's why we used him because the price of the painting was major and we had a minor budget left.

By the way I'm listening to a Bach suite in D minor...

can you see the bug?

There is a major bug on this image. Can you see it? Well yes, the TV. Since we don't have a satelite dish our nice TV doesn't fonction yet so we have to use nineteen century technoogy...
But the room is nice. right?

the wall

We hanged some art that we brought back from the Canary Islands. Since the walls are really white, decorating them was a must

it's growing

As you cna see our plants are growing nicely. Plus we have great weather for the season

outside is still a mess

But inside we start to feel cosy.

Still a few details to iron out but over all, it feels good.

Outside there is so much sand (we are on a sand dune I remind you) that we have to use the broom every other minute.

Can't wait for the decks to be done.

more cement

After having done the kitchen with waxed cement , I decided to do the sink table that way also. Looks quite cool I think...

First light

We are quite happy because we don't have to use candles anymore.
The kids are not affraid of gosts anymore and we sleep better for it...

gros plan sur la bête

the guest bathroom is almost done

a sea turtle in the kitchen

The kitchen has a little surprise.
I decided too doodle a little.

Stairs

Not bad hey?

My smart neighbour asked me what kind of tiles I was going to choose for the floor. It is hard to be a misunderstood artist!!!

1st coat corridor and corridor finished

this time, I had to give a hand

As I was saying, we decided to have a nice waxed cement floor for the kitchen, the bathroom and the corridor. But construction people are n holiday now. France: 35 hour weeks and 7 weeks holidays…/
So I had to get my hands dirty

I'm a specialist now!!!!!!!

Scene from the Seine

Taken at midnight...

The living room

It's all white, like milk but this time, no electricity... We forgot to get the consuel (conformity document)

Da Bathroom for the buddies

That's downstairs for the visitors. Still no water...

Still waiting for news from the maire...

DA bathroom upstair

We are still waiting for the water. The town has forgotten to run pipes in front of our street. Well when you work 35 hours what can you expect???

outside "the wall"

We have to make sure that the path to the garage will hold so we made a little wall (extra 5000€ just for the fun of it)

Time for some news

We have placed 2 kitchen elements BUT the floors are not finished. We will do a waxed ciment floor.

amazing skies

SUREAL

The stairs and kitchen are waiting for cleaning

Walls and floor

The floors have been placed and the walls have received the first coat of white

a little update

This is the house a month later. It's not moving fast but still it's coming along...

Have a look!

And you???

we like the tile color we picked...

another angle

I just can't wait to move the furniture in...

View from our great neighbours

Yes, the roof is almost finished and this is what it looks like!!

and there shall be light

From that little tube will come electricity. And light shall be... Not to soon...

Beautifull day at the beach

Great day, but no wind so no kite flying, just a bit of rugby with the kids. The girls won... Well they think they did... We are gentlemen...

Eliot is looking for a place to play tennis

This is the side of the house. Where the wood pile stands there will be a nice deck with lounge chairs and cocktail holders.

The ladies have picked their rooms

The girls have chosen their rooms, they now know where to sleep. All they care about is when it's going to be finished and what color furniture and walls they'd like.
Me, all I want is the house to stand the next storm...

Someone, please explain...

I don't know what to make of this?

Holes and unfinished roof parts...

But the builder is confident...

Good because someone has to be in these conditions...

Can you see?

There are the first roof tiles. By the end of the week, the roof should be finished. Keep your fingers crossed please

nothing is perfect

Glue does not look nice on a wall.

Get me the slob who did that!!!

He's fired!!

Just kidding. He will only stay late and clean up!!

Inside / Outside

Pretty cool!!
