We did it!

EDF switched on our electric supply on the 4th January, we ran around like headless chickens moving everything in and........

....we moved in on 9th January, 23 months after swinging the first pick axe for the foundations!

We're absolutely knackered but very proud of our little house.
No rest for the wicked...now ripping out a bathroom in one of the gites!

Electrics Inspection

To get everything prepared for our electrics inspection we had to finish all the ceilings. A total of 15 days non-stop fitting pieces of tongue and groove between the beams, every piece unique in size!

Once we had completed the ceilings we made the request for the dreaded inspection. Very, very efficient the rendez vous was made for a few days later and voila Monsieur L'Inpecteur arrived. Our biggest concern was that our earth was good enough, the inspection demands an earth reading of less than 100 ohms, we had planted 3 earth spikes, 2 metres down and were relieved when his equipment measured 45 ohms...we were off to a good start. He was very thorough, crawled over everything and eventually to our absolute delight said it was a very professional installation and it had passed!!!

There was nothing stopping us now! Just the last few jobs to finish!
