All of the above said, I have made some progress on the shed. I have now completed the wiring which I\nwanted to do before fitting out so it can be hidden behind the boarding that I\nwill put up. This took quite a bit\nlonger than I wanted as I wanted to make sure I did it safely and, while we are\nnot demanding any more power than we did before, I will have more sockets and lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I haven\u2019t made any further progress on clearing the space out nor have\nI managed to get rid of the old roofing sheets that I mentioned least\nweek. Sadly, the quarry we were told\naccepted them no longer has a licence so we are investigating alternative methods\nof disposal \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having completed the wiring I have made a start on insulating and\ncovering the ceiling. As the garage bays,\nwe have chosen to use white plastic lambris as it\u2019s cheap and easy to\ninstall. The insulation is less to make\nthe building comfortable \u2013 it is only a shed \u2013 but to minimise the condensation\nwhich occurs on the cold metal roof and drips into the shed. Half done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/li><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nDuring the week I have also started some major spring cleaning in our\nown house and began clearing my desk. \nThe state of my desk has become a bit of a running joke among friends\nand family. While I don\u2019t consider\nmyself a hoarder exactly, I do admit that I don\u2019t like throwing anything away\nwhich may come in useful at some point in the future \u2013 such as the old shower\nscreens which we have used as windows in the new shed. I also wouldn\u2019t consider myself a\nprocrastinator normally, after a long day working non-essential admin often\ngets put off which resulted in my desk being lost under lots of stuff!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During one of the wetter and colder days I started to sort through the \u2018stuff\u2019\nwhich would also assist me to compile our dossiers for our residency permit\napplication and interview at the end of March. \nDuring the clear out I made an A4 paper sized pile of things to be\nrecycled much of which were the vast amount of shop marketing material the\nFrench receive \u2013 at the end it was almost a metre tall! The shame! \nPhase 2 will be filing the \u2018stuff\u2019 which will probably generate more recycling\n(although not a metre\u2019s worth!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Otherwise the week has been other routine things.\u00a0 We did visit our new dentist in Morlaix who is a good friend of David\u2019s who attends most of his gym classes.\u00a0 He is a nice guy and, I\u2019m sure a good dentist, but (as this seems to be a blog of confessions) I also admit to being one of the millions who hates visiting the dentist.\u00a0 No matter how good they are it always feels like being waterboarded by Dr. Orin Scrivello D.D.S.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
All being well I should be in a position to start filling the man shed\nby this time next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
