I now have 6 days left before we have guests arriving so there is a firm deadline, which is probably a good thing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week has been very productive again so I am actually quite relaxed that I\u2019ll make the deadline without too many late nights \u2013 although I have \u2018de-scoped\u2019 some of the work that I will be able to go back to in the following weeks if the gite isn&#8217;t occupied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week, <a href=\"https:\/\/kergudon.com\/fr\/sunday-8-may-granary-now-then-and-before-then\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">my blog<\/a> focused on Granary as she looked when we arrived.\u00a0 Or, at least the pictures were of Granary some years before we arrived, and she had become a little more \u2018tired\u2019 since they were taken!\u00a0 The previous owners allowed us to stay in Granary during one of our very early research visits and David wouldn\u2019t even sit on the sofa it was in such a poor state!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our first refurbishment happened in 2015, already having worked on Hayloft and Priory to get them to state that we were happy to accept guests!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Granary\u2019s was a fairly big refurb as we replaced the kitchen and en-suite bathroom totally; tiled large areas of the family bathroom; divided the single eaves bedroom room for 3 people into 2 rooms for 4 in total; and redecorated throughout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What we didn\u2019t have the time, or money, to do, although would have liked to, was rewire and replace the family bathroom completely.&nbsp; This has been covered in this year\u2019s work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I mentioned last week, I won\u2019t show you pictures of where we are now but will publish a few of what we had made Granary into so you can compare with last week\u2019s images (I have tried to use pictures of the same rooms to assist) and will see the difference next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This allows me to keep this blog brief and, if you\u2019re familiar with Granary, or have looked at it <a href=\"https:\/\/kergudon.com\/fr\/granary-country-cottages-in-brittany\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">on our website<\/a>, won\u2019t have any images which are unfamiliar to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"3756\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.kergudon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/self-catering-Brittany-and-location-maison-Finist\u00e8re-7.jpg\" alt=\"self catering Brittany for couples and location maison Finist\u00e8re\" class=\"wp-image-3756 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"3752\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.kergudon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/self-catering-Brittany-and-location-maison-Finist\u00e8re-3.jpg\" alt=\"Perfect self catering Brittany and location maison Finist\u00e8re\" class=\"wp-image-3752 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" data-id=\"3742\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.kergudon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Country-cottages-in-Brittany-et-location-maison-Bretagne-5-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Self-catering kitchen in our Country cottages in Brittany et location maison Bretagne\" class=\"wp-image-3742 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/kergudon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Country-cottages-in-Brittany-et-location-maison-Bretagne-5-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/kergudon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Country-cottages-in-Brittany-et-location-maison-Bretagne-5-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kergudon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Country-cottages-in-Brittany-et-location-maison-Bretagne-5-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kergudon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Country-cottages-in-Brittany-et-location-maison-Bretagne-5-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kergudon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Country-cottages-in-Brittany-et-location-maison-Bretagne-5-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/kergudon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Country-cottages-in-Brittany-et-location-maison-Bretagne-5-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2560px;
