Bits and Bobs….
Several little projects were finished in the last few days. The boule court had geotextile fabric laid and then new white gravel:
We were debating what to do with the area around the fosse septique in order to tidy it up. The solution was to edge it with wood and use yet more white gravel. No doubt plant pots and the like will appear as time goes by.
On the back wall of the hose was a very ‘bodged’ bit of repair to the rendering (previous owners of course). So the cement had to be knocked out, some base render (1 lime, 1 cement, 5 sand) applied and then we use what the French call ‘Crepi’ to give it a textured surface.This doesn’t quite match the existing pebbledash but it much better than it was and when painted it will not be so noticeable (we hope).
