The reason I haven't been writing much and posting so late at night is that we have started another project. Crazy, certainly. My mother would say, "I am burning the candle at both ends." Actually the candle was lite in the middle which caused a bonfire of activity.
Yes, we bought another property. When the house next door came up for sale, we asked several friends if they were interested in it… as the house wasn't on the market yet there was a deadline to beat. When nobody bit, French Husband couldn't resist, saying, "It is too good too pass up, plus it was part of our home over a hundred years ago."
I know what you might be thinking, "Gee they buy houses like they are gumballs." Well yes and no. You see Yann"s work is in real estate (long term) investment so he tends to buy gumballs. And lately I have taken an interest in fixing them up.
We are waiting for the stairs to go into Cassis. As the stairs have to be made inside the apartment, we decided to put it on hold, as the apartment needs the kitchen space to became the workspace for the stairs. I would rather not have any worries regarding scratches or soldering marks in the kitchen. So once the stairs are up, then we will return to complete the kitchen etc.. Meanwhile we started on the house next door.
And I am burning the candle at both ends as my mother would say, and loving every minute of it!
As soon as I can I will add photos of the before and after of this new project. Until then here is a peek.
