Sounds like a plan but might put it on a timer switch to come on several times during the nightPaulwirral said:hair dryer under the bed covers before you get in works a treat and only takes a minute

It knocks the initial edge off the cold sheets . I built a house in France and considered a caravan on site but rented a flat in the nearby town to keep my sanity , although I did actually physically build the thing myself so it was nice to get away from the site every night and have a beer in a bar and sleep somewhere clean and warm .
Good luck with the build

Thank you
I'm treating this one as the learning curve ready for my forever home sometime in the future. Helped to renovate an old longierre (spelling) in the loire valley region near Angeres a couple of years ago and loved the place. Could quite fancy a little retreat out there

The main thing I learnt is not to let it overwhelm you , if I can do it in a country I don't really speak the language it should be easy for you :lol: I've got some pics of the build if your interested but I don't want to nick your thread

I'm not much use with tech so they may be upside down or wrong order , it took about 4 years of working alone in between projects in England , about 14 months non stop

The digger is where the pool ended up for perspective

Thank you ,
I do still have it , there's a couple of people tried to buy it from me but the tax implications and the fact I get to spend 3 months a year there stop me selling it . I always drive down but the missus flies in from Liverpool to Bergerac , both are less than an hour from either house .
The plot was negotiated into the deal when I bought the house next door , it was basically worthless , about 5k , due to the steepness of it and the stone on it . I tipped about a hundred tons of stone off the site up the road at another building site and used the rest to build the stone facade on the house and terrace wall , I can almost remember dressing every stone with a brick hammer to fit the one I'd just laid
almost literally :lol:Paulwirral

Odd , they are all the correct way on my I pad
France is really nice. Ive spent quite a few weeks helping my friend renovate a property in the loire...the fresh bread every day...nothing rushed...really nice. That stonework was worth the hard graft
