Ian's Parents came the next day after my arrival. They are from Belfast and Ian's Mom is constantly saying "a wee bit" of this or that...
I might just pick up more Irish-English than French whilst they are here...
So, I am staying at "Le Mas"
That's a smaller house (still very large) out across the way from the main house and have my own flat. It is nicer than any of the places when I was single! And of course that is because it is here in South of France
If you look at the big house (see photo below…the one with the house and flowers), looks from the street like it might be an 8 person house. The reality is that it goes way up and back like an old villa. ... And back, and back ..and has so many little rooms, cubbies and corners.
Most of the rooms are sort of camp-style two and three beds, but all very cute and cozy.
All are painted with the colors used here in Provence…absolutely look new and fresh and clean.
The main house probably houses about 35 ~40+/- It has a major sized kitchen, Laundry, Library, seversal offices and vey large dining room.
The other, the “mas” where I live, has about room for 10~15+/-. In and about the mas are another large flat, and many moresigle, double and triple rooms and the altalier/workshop.
Been working, already,on some projects. Enough tools to keep this large facility running and maintained weell. We are starting to build a safety fence for the compressed gas to keep “younger visitors” away, out and safe.
Work was a bit limited for 2 days, because of the rain so today, worked inside hanging a glass shower enclosure
… had to do this one myself.
… lifted it and set it down and prayed out loud for strength. At first …could not do it.

Above photo is the "Garage" ...the lower workshop
the one up top is called the atelier.
The Lord gave me super human strength just to get the huge 45” x 80” monster fully-assembled frame out of the shipping box and lift it into position…
I found out quickly that at now, nearly 60… my strength just ain’t the same…but for that short moment, it was sufficient. T
