Stuart, great introductory shot of your château courtyard. Patrick and Stuart, you were working as a well-oiled machine on that plasterboarding. Stuart, you are a genius on those measurements.

Hi my darling Stuart and Patrick , when it came to the crooked section of the wall I must say how amazing the perfection you give to everything you do. I was singing to myself an old Scottish song “ I’ll take the high road and you take the low road” watching Patrick do the top and Stuart do the bottom panels.😂. This Gite will be finished in no time at the speed you are progressing at. Sorry that wasn’t meant to be sarcastic or funny.🥴😉😘. Big hugs to you both.🥰🥰🇨🇮

I love the technical descriptions: "noodling" and "bouncy-bouncy" were my fave's! Owning a chateau must be the perfect way to stay young. You're moving all the time! ...or to wear you out in an amazingly short period of time. I like the first version. Congratulations on making quick work of the insulation and dry walling! You both make it look very easy and you play well together. Watching all of the work you've both completed around your house encourages me to move out of my comfort zone to fix things in my condo. You're both a great inspiration. Your Seven Supervisors Group seemed very pleased with the work done too. The entrance mirror stand lying on its side is gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing. The super fun part will be watching for which paint colour and furnishings come in. Hugs to both of you!
