First few jobs done

Okay so we bought the House and the sale went through a bit late but it did happen... things as we are learning do not happen when they are suppose to in France .. everything takes a bit of time. Our house because of the land attached had to go to an agricultural body just in case any of the local farmers wanted to buy the land and luckily for us nobody else wanted it.
So we started clearing the land immediately around the house mainly so we could access it! Bit of a jungle so to speak...
So after clearing we put some windows in and replaced some of the tiles on the roof to make it weather tight and started with the insulation... what a mind field! So after many hours of online research we settled on a layer of foil backed bubble wrap to keep the heat out in the summer and 10 cm of fiberglass... trying to keep all the beams exposed we plaster boarded (drywall) in between the eaves. I will post some photos of the roof space soon...
