Holy apertures, Batman!

Creating the opening for the French doors into my garden room, one stone at a time.

Here the doors are installed and the guys are creating hole #2 to utilize a left over window in my studio. The more light the better!

Here’s what that facade looks like now—with the huge wall cracks reinforced and new enduit. We miss the beautiful fall ivy that was on this wall, but it had to be done.

Here’s my new studio window from the inside. The menuisier had made this large window for the kitchen, but I had ordered a double-hung style for there, so the gorgeous oak window was dying to find a home. (Check out that ancient fireplace!)

One of my piles of beautiful stone from the demo.                                                                                      Gonna use them throughout the garden to line new walkways.

“My” side of the garage-BEFORE.

Orifice #3: New garage door opening for my Citroen. Started with the reinforced arch so the wall didn’t collapse. We removed the ‘second floor’ beams on my side to open up the space (planning to use the gorgeous old beams to created raised garden beds.)

Here’s the second garage opening from outside to create a 2 (or more) car garage [can you guess that Theo’s looking to amass a collection???] The door surround will be styled the same, as well as a new door made to match.
