Materials and plans

We spent the WHOLE weekend in the DIY shop (it felt like it anyway!)

Doug had his second drive on the motorway on the way to Pau where Leroy Merlin the giant DIY shop is. He overtook something this time which was exciting!

We bought some tools and wood to make shutters and a door for the storage part of the outdoor kitchen (the bread oven room as we call it).
We have also done a detailed design for the structure that will hold the sink along with what we need to buy - but we have not bought the wood yet. Perhaps they need writing up a bit clearer.

We have also talked about making some radical changes to the plans for the house. 
Again a tiny bit of work needed to make thm comprehensible. The main change is to have moved the pantry and stairs to the opposite end of the house and the bathroom from the front to back. The main problem we were trying to solve was the boot room being cramped in to a corner of the living room in our current thinking. We were also having problems laying out the living room to make the most of the view. The left is downstairs and the right upstairs. A better version coming soon!
