Latest project finished

Sorry I have not been around and have still not taken any pictures of the lights. We have been so busy. Since last writing we had a week back in the UK sorting out our English which has sold. We have now exchanged contracts and the sale will complete on 5th January. This is a huge event for us as not only will we no longer have a house in the homeland we will have paid off our mortgage. We have no debt against our French house so finally we will not owe any money!
The photos are the stairs P has built in the cave that is daughters house. They are oak! He built them from scratch  after lots of measuring and is the third staircase he has built. We are hoping to move them in early in the new year.
The extension is up and looking good. My tumble dryer is installed properly. Once the rest of the wiring is done and the plumbing we can get the washing machine into there too. This will mean I can start sorting out my kitchen. I am planning to use a large heavily carved four door cupboard that will be the base unit. I have bought some chalk paint in duck egg blue that I will use to paint it. I'll take photos as I go.
We still have a lot of work to do but I can see the light at last.
It is very un December like so far! The ducks have started laying eggs again! Lots of rain which is creating lots of mud! I have a flowering cherry that has blossom and the Virginia creeper is growing leaves. Not sure what will happen in Spring.
