As mentioned in previous posts, the purpose of our recent visit to France was to galvanise the builder into action. The building was meant to start in December, then February, then Easter, then in quinze jours! We sent an email to say that we were coming on Saturday and on Thursday this turned up together with a pile of bricks and the drive way was laid. Two holes were dug and then the rain came and the builder discovered rock! The hole filled with water and the builder went home! We met with the builder and discussed when he could finish, we went home! We are arranging another trip shortly having learnt our lesson. Ian had told the builder that he was not under any pressure to finish (big mistake!).
