The first phase of the masonry painting went ahead at the beginning of June, as you can see from the latest pictures, the front of the house has been completed. The owner wished to keep the render work as near to its original colour as possible, so the first day was spent attempting to mix the appropriate colour which was hindered by the surprising lack of variety and high cost of paint in France.

The stone decor around the windows and doors has been painted, however this will be changed for an ivory colour upon the next visit when it is hoped the gable can be completed
