au milieu des vaches: adventures in renovation in the french countryside

Flood

The flooding of the Rhins at the bottom of the street last weekend presaged the unblocking of our home building project. After the arrival of the permis de construire, the maĆ®tre d’oeuvre told us that he had the builder lined up to start some time in May, the bank manager told us that we qualified for a zero percent loan for part of our budget and the wife’s cousin in public works invited us over for coffee to tell us how much it would cost to run a water line up a 300 metre long driveway.

It’s looking like we’ll have something to write about around here — sit tight!
