We now have two window openings in the back barn wall having successfully finished the bathroom one yesterday.
We are still unsure about the style and we really wished we had opted for dormers along the back to give a bit more presence. The roof is rather a large expanse of tile so in effect quite featureless.
Our problem now is we do not have planning permission for dormer windows and we do not want to delay proceedings whilst the planning is approved.
On the other hand we could plough on and hope that planning would be granted retrospectively which is always a bit risky. We also do not wan't to make what is a traditional French building look over engineered. I see so many houses on my travels that are 'butchered' and 'Anglocised' which loses it authentic charm.
I have loosely replaced the canal tiles for now to keep out any rain but they will be eventually removed and re-fixed to ensure complete water exemption.
