Last week\u2019s blog<\/a> said that my focus would be continuing with the lambris in the upstairs rooms of Grange, and that there were many days\u2019 worth of work left to complete.\u00a0 I was right on both counts!\u00a0 It did also say that the forecast was to be dry and fantastic for autumn \u2013 that also turned out to be the case but, sadly, I thought it best to stay inside Grange rather than pick up any outside work \u2013 although of course there is lots of that to do too!<\/p>\n

As I was fundamentally focussed on a single activity, this week\u2019s blog will be pretty short \u2013 and I won\u2019t actually share any pictures of the interior until next week when you will be able to see greater progress \u2013 but don\u2019t think there hasn\u2019t been any at all it has just been slow!<\/p>\n

In the margins of doing the lambris we also fitted some additional lighting and a special feature on the front of Grange.<\/p>\n

We were always planning on having a light above the games room door, which you can just see in the picture, but our electrician suggested that we have some illumination for the stairs as well.\u00a0 We agreed and found some very small LED lights that I have installed on the side of the building.\u00a0 While Grange doesn\u2019t yet have its own power, you can see the effect with the help of an extension cable.\u00a0 We are really pleased.<\/p>\n

\"LED<\/a><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, despite looking, we weren\u2019t able to find any attractive LED flood lights for the front of the building.\u00a0 When the whole area is finished we are having a \u2018boulodrome\u2019 (p\u00e9tanque pitch to you and me) and we thought it would be good to have some lighting so, if the p\u00e9tanque gets especially competitive we can continue to play late into the evening.\u00a0 Most of the LED floodlights we found were the same black square design so we have chosen to use them.\u00a0 They\u2019re not too offensive just a bit functional. We haven\u2019t turned them on yet but David is concerned that I may have bought some that are bright enough to be seen from the moon so I am looking forward to when we can switch them on!<\/p>\n

\"Floodlights<\/a><\/p>\n

I have also mentioned in a previous blog<\/a> that we were looking for some old railway sleepers which we will use to lay out the boulodrome, among other things.\u00a0 This week we found someone selling some good quality sleepers near Locronon so we made a couple of trips to collect some ready for when I can focus on other tasks \u2013 at the speed this lambris is taking it could well be Easter!!<\/p>\n

\"Railway<\/a><\/p>\n

The weather has been really good last week \u2013 and should last for another couple of days \u2013 so we have enjoyed some fabulous sunsets in the evenings.\u00a0 It was the perfect week for some open top motoring around the amazing roads of Finist\u00e8re seeing the fantastic autumnal colours \u2013 and, when the garage is finished, Kergudon will be even more the perfect location to come and enjoy the season.<\/p>\n

\"Fabulous<\/a><\/p>\n

Next week \u2013 lambris, for a change!<\/p>\n
