Kitty Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hello Rodie. Welcome to the Forum. Do you have any photos of the barn that you can post (using photobucket.com)? What is it like? How big is it? Have you any artisans lined up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodie Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 hi Cathy ,the barn is 12.2m Lx 5.4m w its got an ok roof and it is build of some volcanic and some honey colored stone ,its on a 2 acre plot which is pretty flat but say on a 1degree tilt , we have owed it 2 yrs nearly but we have had trouble with planning as we used a uk guy who did not know the french system so it was thrown out ,no we dont have any builders lined up ,im a plumber -htg guy myself so i can do a bit , we have just had a baby so we cant do tooo much ,but we cleared out the barn ,it was full of hay and it took all day [:)] ,the barn is in a little hamlet of about 7 houses so its a good spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Sounds idyliic. But with a brand new baby, don't expect to get much done for a couple of years... (I speak as a mother of -nearly - a cricket team of children).I would say that a 1 degree tilt is flat. Isn't the planet Earth tilted by that much anyway?Quite the hardest thing about barn conversions in France (apart from planning and getting artisans) is the fosse septique. There's been loads written about this on the Forum so you could do a search.http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/1172925/ShowPost.aspxhttp://www.completefrance.com/cs/search/SearchResults.aspx?q=fosse&f=&u= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just john Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 as my ole' granny used to say to my sis, lift a cheek and aim for the side girl, course in those days it wasn't a bucket it was a guzunder, probably all tinder boxes by the fireplace, or trendy flower pots on the kitchen window sill now, if only they could speak about the promised lands they'd seen!
