I started off last week\u2019s blog<\/a> saying that it would be a short one as I had been focussed on a single task \u2013 plasterboarding.\u00a0 This one is much the same and so the photos haven\u2019t changed that much!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week\u2019s blog said that I had completed about 80% of the job and I had hoped to finish last Monday before a friend would come over to give me a tutorial in filling and papering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pleasingly, I did manage to finish the boarding task, although it took me until midway through Tuesday to do.  With the boarding complete there are no sheets left on the pool house floor although because they had been on the floor, albeit elevated on some battens, was one the reasons it took longer than I\u2019d anticipated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the battens had evidently become sodden and the plasterboard sheet on top had become very wet and so could not be used in its entirety.\u00a0 This led to a little more cutting and screwing, as too finding the remaining part of the wall to be covered was the least flat surface in the entire building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because I was delayed, our friend couldn\u2019t then make it until Thursday but we did get a full day\u2019s work of sanding and filling and every joint has had the first fill.  Despite our best efforts, this was a pretty messy task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an ideal world, I would then have had a few more days to do the second, and third fills that I am told would be needed, and even start the sanding.\u00a0 However, as we had guests arrive on Friday for the weekend, I spent the day cleaning the pool house, and the pool which hasn\u2019t been used for a number of weeks, so the space was available for our guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, despite it being cleaner than it has been in a while, and with the water now back to 27 degrees with the new, improved, heat pump, they chose not to go for a swim!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My plan is therefore to do as much of the second and third fills on Monday and Tuesday (having had my masterclass I am now confident to be left on my own!) and rebuild the pool house again on Wednesday for next week\u2019s guests who are arriving on Thursday.\u00a0 Let\u2019s hope they choose to have a dip!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been another week of Breton weather but, happily, things seem to dry out sufficiently on a Sunday for us to do our walks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we walked a new stretch of the coast on the Daoulas \/ Logonna Daoulas peninsula and started our circuit in a familiar sounding hamlet \u2013 Gorrequer (also written as Gorreker on the village signs as the lane we are situated on, Hent Gorreker).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have explored lots of the Finist\u00e8re, and other Brittany, coastline but with over 2,200 kms of coast in Finist\u00e8re<\/a> alone there is still much to discover.\u00a0 Today\u2019s walk, though undeniably scenic, validated our decision to walk the Roscoff to Concarneau railway line in the last couple of weekends as it was very muddy in places although never impassable \u2013 just!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I may not blog next Sunday as it is likely that the photos of plasterboard won\u2019t look very different no matter how much more filler I apply!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
