Patrick and Nicole were a welcome sight at the end after 30 hours of travel. An early dinner and off to bed.
I would like to tell you that the house was wonderful, but I would be lying. It has been renamed “The Dust House”. In the last 7 weeks the whole house has been rewired and a significant amount of plumbing done…. And through stone walls that amounts to “messy”. Patrick has also been pointing and treating the exposed interior limestone walls; a massive task requiring painstaking precision and perseverance. Add to that the exposed beams which also needed extensive work but look so good!! So poor boy has been hard at it.
They all look fantastic, but the layers of thick dust spread right through the house was phenomenal. I sound like an ungrateful bitch as I know he has worked solidly, but the dust was depressing so my gratitude for all his hard work was less than it should have been. I was overwhelmed.
After a good nights sleep, the energy returned and the clean up began.
