HOW TO TEACH A HUSBAND FRENCH STEP ONE......... ;))
I speak only french to my husband for 4 hours each morning .....
So if he wants any thing he has to understand and reply, or he wont get breakfast , coffee, tea , his mail or any thing else !! I do it one sentance at a go so not to over burden him.... but he is getting there .
Most morning's he takes it with humour other mornings he can be a bit grumpy about it .... but thats just men ...
I even leave him little romantic notes stuck to his computer in the mornings ...he like them ;)

I think any English man who bothers to learn..... should hold his head high .. ;))

[quote user="cooperlola"][quote user="Pads"]
I did think about this but the view is fantastic out of that window and I dont want to cut down on any of the viewing area.
[/quote]? I don't quite understand that comment Pads. Our wooden persiennes don't affect the view at all - they fold back just like the big ones do but are in 4 bits, rather than just the one. Bought from and made to measure by Lapeyre, where you can see them all on display before buying if you want to see what I mean "in the flesh", as it were. [/quote]
I assumed he meant ones that folded to the sides of the windows like the old victorian ones here , But now Im thinking they fold to the out side wall , which would be Ideal...
I shall have a look for a Lapeyre website and see if they hae any there .... Thanks

They are back on the shelves ....... Fast asleep after working all night ....I was woken by my back door opening and the dog running down the stairs..... I staggered to the top of the stairs to see my best friend sneaking 5 of them on to my kitchen side board... bugger she said didnt want to wake you I just wanted you to find them when you woke for your coffee .... So we sat and had one and a natter ....SLEEP ????? who needs it when there ae peanut butter kitkats on offer ......
HAVE YOU VOTED?

[quote user="BIG MAC"]The way I would attack it is to sort out the window reveals and frame to receive 'tri-fold' shutters which would lie flat within the reveal and be concealed from view by the frame...alternatively if you want the 'look' of shutters ..why not simply hinge them in the middle so that the follow the curve of the wall?[/quote]
Yes I would like to have shutters ...so I think the hinged way is best ....trouble is I was also thinking of a balcony on the back wall as well .....but that not for a very long time and may not even happen as I like the look of that wall and wouldnt want to break it up ...

Now the roof has been done I think that is a large chunk of the job done .... It will be a big job ...but for me a labour of love Im very excited by it , just wish I had the money to get it done faster .

I have found by going back and starting again on a number of the cd sets and books I have tried works well because you start to soak in the words that passed you by the first time , as by now all the easy words are second nature so its not so stressful. I have learnt so much by restarting something.
My french french teacher is coming to the house for a coffee on Sunday so Im going to get her to pronounce some of the words in to my rosetta and see if its just me ..... Should be interesting
-
The window is flat but its when the shutters are open and they will be quiet large ones. That I think I will have a problem. As they will not lay back flat and will stick out , Im thinking about having them hinged in the middle so they will curve around with the wall. Would this be possible or will it cause a weakness when shut in the strong winds ?
-
Also boys while I have your attention...
I want to put wooden shutters on the big back window but the walls are round ..... what options do I have as they are going to stick out alot if straight ... dont want metal roll up type ...would like to keep rustic looking
-
Thanks chancer ... but its the old type I need as I need to explain in a letter what I have taken down and what works Im doing on the barn

Many thanks Gyn paul
Talking of plan cadastral I believe these lean to's are on this . Do you think I should say they are going to replaced in the future? I will be one day but have more important work to do first.
I have heard mine called Hanger as well , although it was only wide enough to take a large car or small tractor.
The reason we have taken them down was so the builders could reach the roof of the main building and because they were so dangerous and would of fallen down soon and I had nighmares about the roofing flying off and killing some one in the next strong wind . As they were road side .
Just going to get some pictures to show what I mean
before

[quote user="suein56"][quote user="Russethouse"]For those interested my surgeon ( Mr Palethorpe, who came to see me before and after he had performed the op) has a web site : http://www.readinghandsurgery.com/fasciectomy.htm [/quote]
It fascinates me that a simple 'snip' in just the right place can make such a difference to someone's well-being.
Hope all goes better with your errant finger from now on ... It is such a sound idea to have an informative web-site such as his, most reassuring in a potentially stressful situation.
