Not one, but two

Finally, after a long wait and long considered plans, we were ready to go and buy the wood for our ‘bibliotheque’, or bookshelves. Brian is going to build them in the room next to the salon, and turn it into our library. At the moment it’s a fairly empty room, with just a desk, and a lot of stacked boxes full of books. But things are now happening, the little room is getting cleared and we are about to make our plans reality.

We’d visited the wood yard in Châtillon a few weeks back, where we had bought the wood for the stairs a few years ago. Based on what oak they had available, Brian has been calculating what he needs to buy for the build. Unfortunately, because there was so much wood, we needed to make two trips. It’s possible that all the wood may have fitted in the car in one go, but it would have been very heavy on the right hand side, and a bit dangerous on the icy roads. So, to be better safe than sorry, we made a second trip.

Today we returned to pick up the second load, and I got to take the photos this time!

Brian is very happy, and really excited, to have bought the wood. He’s now almost ready to start the project…almost! He still needs to buy a lamelleuse or ‘biscuit cutter’, but it’s a case of which one?
