Hello from France

<< < (3/3)

MrFluffy:
Sorry for the slow response, been dragged away on impromptu holiday in the motorhome by my wife who deemed I needed a break. Came back with a newly made list of snags to fix on that too  :hammer:

Cidrontmg: As correctly pointed out Its just piece1, meaning bit1 or similar. I think its actually the kitchen to be but when we was playing round with the door opening to the hall we managed to separate part of the kitchen from that main square so the cad package renamed it as a new room... It does look a lot like bedroom one, but this shows both floors with one floor imposed onto the other.
Yes all units in meters here, these are the plans that got stamped by both the architect and the planning office and neither of them spotted that piece1  :clap:

Not sure all the really backbreaking bit is all done yet :) Im resting now after finishing tonights session with the brick hammer and chisel opening up one of the bedroom window apertures. Its been easy so far just crack the outer render off and work out the stones by loosening the mud between with a pinch bar but it seems someone rebuilt this particular wall with a really strong modern cement based mortar between the stone so fighting each stone out one by one.

KVOM: Loches isnt far your right, probably about two hours or so from here driving. Just a little bit nearer civilization than us :)

Brass_Machine: theres more to come yet with some huge vinyl cut invader graphics for the walls and the upright arcade cabinet and a pin table and I'm slowly hunting down rare and weird consoles and computers from the 70/80's eras at the right prices for it. But it can come together as and when now. Its already my favourite room. I have some really advanced ideas for homebrew automation this time round but I have to hold off till its passed electrical sign off.

Dabirdguy: none of them have surrendered. Theyre all really cool as it goes. The immediate ones told us they were fine with us working till whatever hour we feel like and to ignore the rules on late/sunday working, and the rest are mostly farmers who have some really nice toys and are pleasant people to deal with. I know where 2 minutes away theres a telehandler that they will come round with straight away if I ask, and another neighbour ran his flail over the garden before we got the pony tractors ourselves and it had gone properly wild. Last summer I was straightening bits of combine in the hydraulic press mid harvest after it hit something and I lifted someone else's cow up with my little hydraulic hoist so they could work its hip back in one day so its not all one way traffic. Its just a rural practical area, the kind of place you go the supermarket when it snows and see a tractor coming out with the weeks shopping in the front bucket and the family in the cab. And it suits me and my love of homebrew modding and tinkering and machinery right down to the ground :)

Anyway, my arms recovered from feeling like spaghetti crossed with jello now, so best get back to it for now :) Thanks for all the welcoming words people :)

DABIRDGUY:
Sounds like you've found a great place to live. :thumbup:
