La buanderie - part 1

Back in the laundry room ( La buanderie) Brian had prepared a base for the partition he will build around the pipe work. That is a job a few months down the line though.

He also wanted to smooth off an untidy joint where he’d knocked down a previous dividing wall. He did this by fixing some chicken wire over the broken bricks then smoothing concrete to it. He worked meticulously all the way up the wall carefully covering the wire.

We’ve probably been putting the cement floor off, because we have no experience when it comes to that kind of thing, but we wanted to get it going. The plan was to board half of the room off and lay that part first, I was going to be the ‘cement mixer’ whilst Brian did the laying.

This is the area we wanted to cover.

It really was tough work, I mixed over 250kg of cement by hand in a yellow trug. But we had fun doing it and got the job done.

We were both pleasantly worn out afterwards, but rather pleased with our achievement. Brian’s new laser definately played a very important part.

Just need to leave it all to dry now
