My one weakness: Belgian beer.

While surfing I stumbled upon a superb and extremely practical blog entry: If this image pleases you then click the link below to find out more.

Progress in the apartment.

Finally, after so much hard graft (laying floor, preparing the walls, etc...), we managed to slap on a lick of paint in the large bedroom. The apartment's starting to take shape! Here's a couple of shots of the girls completing the second coat (our thanks to Sophie and Manue). I did the ceiling as usual!
Now comes the fun part; laying the parquet flooring. It's gonna be easier than laying the floor panels (what wouldn't be) but nevertheless a painstaking job requiring the utmost attention to detail. Who best to assign this task to but yours truly. Watch this space...

PS. This is not a DIY blog!

Day one of my new blog. Nothing going on.

Well that's a lie actually. I'm heavily into DIY (not!), something I thought I'd never do. We've just bought a great apartment in Paris 9th but it needs a complete overhaul. Even the floor had to come up. Things are coming along but there's still so much work to do. It all needs to be finished in 2 months before we handover the keys to the buyer of our old appartment. In fact that's where I'm headed now.

Don't worry this isn't going to be a DIY blog or anything. I don't want to bore you! However if I do anything that I'm proud of, like the floor panelling for example, then quite clearly I'm going to gloat. Here's a snapshot of my labours.
