2008-08-06 Begining the New Terrace!!

We have decided to put a 'tunnel' or 'pergola' along the back of the terrace to give some shade, during the July /August time (like NOW!!!)

But before you can do this it is necessary to dig good foundations or the tunnel will end up in Cailho - le- Bas...........
and knock down walls, and build new steps.......etc. .........etc...........etc .
so we called in the A team and from 7.00am to midi they worked so hard and stripped off all the top terrace stone, rebuilt a falling wall, and put in new steps, HOWEVER, none of them are now available for the next 3 weeks and then its someone else's turn.....SO

It s all willing hands on deck, but the temps at present are in the 30's and work after lunch is inadvisable, so it will be December when we get our Pergola !!
Lilou lends a hand!
