We've finally had a rather active weekend in Bretagne! On Saturday, we met another carpenter who's going to make us an offer for all the works we need (and we start to think the carpenter will be more expensive than the mason or the roofguy! eeeeck).
Then we spent some good time measuring everything inside the house and outside it. With Lola on the back, I think I could not move faster than overactive elephant! My back and arms are broken I think. Can I exchange them with new ones?!
Then we spent the rest of the weekend making (and remaking!) precise plans of the works that have to be done on the outside part of the house. All that because we have to ask for authorization to make these works since the whole area there is protected. You just can't build anything there, you've to respect the traditionnal architecture. Which is fine, but BORING when it concerns your own work!
On Monday we had a rendez-vous not too far with an architect who validated our plans (phewww!!!!) and gave us other advice. Now we have to send our request for all these works to the concerned organisation.
Heavy process, isn't it?!!!
Anyway, the rest of the weekend was really fine, with much blue sky at the beginning and a furious storm at the end.
We've had time for long walks in the country and for a drink in the medieval Dinan (which is at 5 minutes from our hobbit house!) :-)))
Oh, here are pics of the house right now and the kind of works we wanna make on it. (the new windows will have a direct view on the close river!!!)

After (we hope!):
