Site meeting

Late last month, we met with the architect and the contractors at Gaulejac. This was the initial site meeting where we had a chance to meet the people who are going to do the work for us. Hands were shaken, contracts were signed and stamped, terms were confirmed and agreed upon, as was the work calendar.

In spite of the -4 C temperature, spirits were high.

The day after the site meeting ...

Work is starting in January or possibly later this month, with an estimated completion time of mid-September.

Next trip will probably be in February, for the first inspection. By then, most of the tearing down (floors and parts of the roof frame) and digging (drainage and waterproofing of the foundations) should be done.

We have asked everyone to contribute photos as often as they can to help us document future postsings.
