Last weekend we went to Castorama and bought 65 bricks. Brought them back, unloaded them, hauled them up to our apartment, and stacked them in the hallway.
This weekend, as Alain is off from work, he started building the walls. It went surprisingly fast, in three days he had finished.
Now we (he really) has to finish them, then redo the rest of the wall in the bedroom, then we will probably start painting. Woohoo! Also have to build the shelves in the closet and order the doors, which will have to be special made. The biggest they can make is 2.8 meters. Sigh. We will have to use a suspension rod system that comes down from the ceiling for the top rail of the doors, which shall be very expensive. But at least we will finally have closet space.
