The first floor of apartment 4 is now finished but the utility room below needed some fine finishing whilst keeping that rustic appearence.

Whereever possible the original stones are kept and the joints repointed with Chaux which is a lime mix and allows the walls to breathe and dry out.

So over the past couple of weeks, the guys have been sweating away at the walls under gîte 4. Here are some photos of before and after for you to enjoy!
