The Casa Novans started work on closing-in the mezzanine last week - http://picasaweb.google.com/camillebenoitchambon/AmenagementDeMezzanine#. House is full of dust, both stone and saw. It will be worth it to have the living area insulated from the barn; I'll miss the view from the mezzanine, but last winter was very chilly.
The new pantry in the corner of the kitchen is lovely. It's bigger than I expected, and has plenty of space for a freezer as well as shelves and a broom-cupboard. Tidy :) The light comes on when the door is opened, which is useful for when one arrives home in the dark: the kitchen lights only have one switch, on the far wall, which has been a problem occasionally.
This will be the last major alteration. I've run out of money! There is suitable tech writing and editing work around, but not from home - indeed, most of the advertised jobs are in London. If I do find another source of income, I want to install solar heating for water and radiators: it's so sunny here, it seems a shame not to make use of it.

Ah, have you left that corner open so that you can still have singers on the mezzanine like you originally planned?
