November 2006 – Stairs

The spiral staircase has at long last been installed between the two floors of Gite 1 – you can now get to the lounge without going outside! This I’m sure you’ll realise, is a plus. On the downside the twin bedroom is now slightly smaller, but it does still have comfy room for the two beds, and now it has a door instead of just a curtain! We’ve been looking forwards to this all year. The stairs are hand built by a local craftsman working in oak, and look a treat, just need a couple of coats of good varnish to protect them before anyone starts clomping up and down.
