Projects

Our friends Sacha and Mehmet came from Hannover via Luxembourg and helped with some of the bigger projects around the house.  Sacha trained as an electrician at some point, so was a huge help in rewiring lamps, adding an electrical outlet, and various other projects.

Not sure why they started working at night...

We made a trip to Villabois for supplies and to stop by the Saturday market, which is pretty limited in the winter.

In the afternoon, we went over to Audrey's farm for coffee and to see her house and the various projects she has undertaken.  It gave us a lot of good ideas of what can be done and how much work goes into different things.

The extension to the right in the picture below was formerly a barn, open on one side, and is now the kitchen and laundry room.  At one point they slept in tents in the barn while they were working on the other part of the  house.
