If ever there were a home built of good times and the sweat of good friends, you're looking at it. These past two weeks have been rich!! Squeezed around our long kitchen table, we've guzzled wine and gorged ourselves in excellent company. And I've had a fine time watching the men at work, wielding chainsaws like they were nail-clippers, leaping from beam to beam with the grace of mountain goats, tossing roof tiles impressive distances (sometimes vertical) with the precision of major league pitchers... The result: the structure is up at last, and the roof is on. Thanks to all the friends who gave so much, with enduring humour and good cheer. And thanks to the weather (sorry Olivier... who spent the previous week prepping the frame with Gilles in persistant gloom and torrential rain...)
The last word - we love it!!
Grrr...
