Ski Apartment Extension

The new room (pre curtains etc.)


door to left thru to rest of apartment. Kids beds in our old room.

Whilst I was enjoying my gardening leave from Cadbury, I decided to do all those jobs you never quite get round to doing, like tracking down all your pensions, selling off those random shares you somehow acquired,and, as Malc will tell you, buying a lot of stuff etc. One thing we had discussed but never done was writing to the owners of the studio apartment next to our ski place to see if they would sell it to us, as they never seem to use it. So I did, and low and behold they did want to sell it to us. The owners were Swiss German which caused a bit of a translation issue, but with the help of Babelfish, and a notaire in the mountains who refused to talk to the Swiss German cos he was so rude, I manged to push through the transaction before the ski season started. A swift call to one of the teams who'd worked on our main house, and the Macedonians moved up to the mountains for a couple of weeks, a door was knocked through the room renovated and now we have an extra room with en-suite shower room. The kids have moved to our room and we've moved in to the new room, and all is good, feels a lot more spacious. 2010 shall hence be known as the year of house renovations.
