Our Lectoure house is a construction site, with ladders and scaffolding all over the place, floors covered in plastic, and nothing quite finished, but progress is being made. Papa removed the kitchen countertops today, and hopes to install new countertops in the coming week, before the painters get in the kitchen. Some wood floors are being refinished, some are being painted, and some will get sisal carpet. There will be touch ups everywhere! We are starting to see real progress!
