This is the back door of 'the project' at La Guerche - there is a number of things wrong here - the door opens outwards (never understood this concept), there is a large bulge in the wall above it and the wooden lintels are shot. Apart from that it is fine! We had asked local tradesman to quote to repair it but no one responded,so it was down to DIY!
First part of the job was to remove the stonework...of which, with such thick walls,there is a lot of !
Then remove the rotten lintels...which gave an interesting view of the hall!
More to follow!
Wow!
ReplyDeleteWhen Pauline and I reopened the old outside door [that now leads into a corridor room], we thought that someone from another dimension was emptying flint, soil and calcaire into a hole for us to remove!! It just seemed to go on forever! Barrow, after barrow, after barrow, after barrow........
