Getting started

We were keen to get started on the library, as it’s quite a big project, and ideally I’d like us to have the construction of the bookcase and the bulk of the ‘messy work’ completed by April, before we start welcoming our guests back to our chambre d’hôte. Although it’s not a room that is used by guests, as it is also our office, it would be nice to have this part finished and tidy. We are able to break the work that’s needed down into smaller elements, so it’s not such a daunting prospect.

It all starts with clearing the bulk of the items out of the room then it was time for hoovering up the cobwebs, which I had to use ear protectors for, as our work vacuum cleaner is very noisy.

After that, the next job was covering the desk and doorway over with plastic. Then we were ready to start the real work, which will take us a fair while, so be ready for some more bibliothèque blogs!
