Our meeting went OK on Friday

M. Waeber couldn't make it to the meeting on Friday as he had another job to go to, but he turned up at 8am to drop off the estimates [which we signed & dropped through his letterbox later on our way out].

We only had M. Torelli and M. Luparello, so it was a small meeting!

And M. Luparello only needed to be there because the plasterboard that was installed in our absence [and under the supervision of Jean-Marie, obviously!] was too close to the window; once tiled, the hinges would have been blocked!

It shouldn't be a big deal for M. Kadir to re-do that side of the window opening, and M. Luparello was OK about it [I don't think he was happy, but could see that it needed changing].

No M. Huguenot as he was on holiday, but again his 'input' was only needed for adding a spot to an existing circuit, putting in a temporary light switch, connecting the towel rail and moving the light switches/socket between the mirrors.

So David has emailed him since we got back.

The main part of the meeting was choosing the taps with M. Torelli and confirming what we wanted as far as shower screen/mirrors. He's not keen on the basins we've chosen, but to be honest, I'm not delighted...

BUT we needed something a decent size, in a fairly traditional style and with the raised back we wanted; so that pretty much limited it to a choice of one!

We're going with that, and I will make sure to be careful around the porcelain and if they do prove to be fragile, we'll have a rethink at that moment.

Fingers crossed they will be fine; our other basin from Lapeyre seems to be perfectly OK - no problems yet.

We also confirmed that the start date of 11 April is still OK, and that it will [should!] take two weeks.

[I'm planning to be there for three weeks, just in case.]

IF it all comes together, within a month we should be finished!

As I say, fingers crossed...
