Vichy

7.2 – Tile, Shops, and Tile Shops

We stayed in Vichy after the last house meeting. Once again return to the tile shop to tackle the floors and bathroom wall choices. Disappointed, we explore what options other shops in Vichy have to offer.

4.2.1 – An Enclosed Space

Our latest visit to the house was just for fun. There was no meeting with the project manager, we just wanted to see it.

4.0.2 – Happy for Rain

I’m sure few people building a house are pleased to see rain forecast. Rain on building sites tends to mean delays. I’m not hoping for rain, but when I checked the weather forecast and saw a few showery days ahead for Vichy, I smiled.

4.0.1 – The Basement is Done

Our meeting with the project manager and bricklayer was longer and more detailed this week. It had been a month since the last meeting, so there was a lot of progress to cover. The walls of the basement are now done, and they have poured the concrete floor. They expect to start the second floor next week.

3.0.2 – Another Visit, Another Strike

Our last house visit plans were thrown into chaos by a national strike. It was a last minute scramble to reschedule and reorganise everything to get there. Now, four weeks on, and another strike is threatening to upset our plans again.

3.0.1 – Going Up

A national strike made getting to Vichy complicated, but we made it, and got to see the walls for the first time.

2.0.1 – Foundations

The string lines from last week are gone, and have been replaced by concrete foundations.

1.2.1 – More Choices

Yesterday was a long a day. Lots of travelling; lots of decisions.

Vichy's Spring Water

Unexpectedly pretty, Vichy has been one of my favourite weekend locations.
