But I guess the weather was pretty dark up until a few days ago. Right now, it's still gorgeous.<br /><br />Nadège, the building crew left today for a few days. They did a really good job of cleaning up. It came as a surprise that they would be gone for a week. We're being positive and looking forward to a week of peace and quiet. We'll have time to do some cleaning and also some work out in the garden.<br /><br />CHM, oui, on commence à voir ce que ça va être.<br /><br />All, the view is really a bonus. Even if we could afford to have the whole roof redone in glass, so that we could just sit or stand and admire the view, I'm not sure we would ever be able to get planning permission for it. Our neighbors two houses down told us they had a lot of trouble getting permission to put in Velux windows that are bigger than the ones we've had installed. Call it socialism or call it planning, but there are restrictions on what people can build or how they can modify their buildings here. And we are looking at the positive side of our project...Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-65665901690349977422010-04-23T17:19:03.472+02:002010-04-23T17:19:03.472+02:00That's a nice view, too bad you can't just...That's a nice view, too bad you can't just "look" out the window.Starmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12386841450183061541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-56701310603932425062010-04-23T16:42:15.318+02:002010-04-23T16:42:15.318+02:00Fantastic!
