It is what the english call a 'stable door', and the French call a 'farm door', this alone caused our first problems.
Here it is being made :-
Dave prepares the doorway for the new doors arrival...............
The old (rather bent) door
Daves been framed !
a bit more preparation..........
Jean-Luc causing a snow storm of old concrete and plaster.
Valentin with the big chisel.....
The new door arrives on the terrace......4 men needed to carry it there.
the first placement of the door, very heavy work :o)
Kiwi watches from the roof as Unique (Valentin's dog) helps at terrace level !!
and from the inside
the last supports are removed
And we have a new door !!

Have just realised that i had forgotton to say that it is finest white oak.....dried for about 8 years in the beer cellar at Dausse !
Cool door.. Holly says good job!
Fab door - good job Kiwi has an alternative mode of exit and entry as I see this door is too posh for a cat flap! Frances x
