pistebeast Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Oh well I suppose you can always stick bits of cake, shaped like bricks, around the edge of the roof - lol Just checked our devis from the builder and also from Batiments de France and they call them Genoise with an accent over the first e ( can't do accents on this comp - english keyboard) cheerspete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
