We just went to visit the building site and a few grubby guys were hard at work, throwing their pick-axes at the ground, shovelling rubble out of the trenches and flinging it over their shoulders...
At least most of them were busy working. One guy was refusing to work and moaning about something or other. Etienne thought he was saying to Papa Antoine that he wanted his lunch bought for him... I wonder how long he'll last on the project...
It's very exciting to see how things are moving forward. The next step is to buy all the iron that will be needed to create the foundations and pillars and posts. Antoine and Etienne have already started calculating what they'll need...
I get the impression I won't be seeing much of my husband over the next couple of months!!! Oh well, at least it can help us prepare mentally for any home extensions we might do in the future!
