I bought my home in the Couserans Pyrénées in 2004 and left the UK to live here full time. After 5 years of solo adventure I met Susie and her children Jasper and Ruby. We married in 2012 and spend our time walking in the mountains, looking after our chickens and sheep, transforming their wool and other fibres into woven, knitted and felted creations and growing/foraging for our food.

Superbe Lee,
Beau travail cela valait la peine de patienter.

J'espere!
Hi Lee, I suppose the house will resemble a swedish sweat house once the thatch is up and the rayburn fired up? Insulation just has to be better than slate.

Can you post more pics of how the thatching works in different stages? Never seen it done before. thanks
I'm away for a few days but will try to capture all the stages on the barn roof next week.
I can send you 'The thatchers craft' in pdf format which is an excellent manual for all forms of thatch but you'll need to give me your e-mail address.
My e-mail is chipbarent@excite.com Thanks. Chip
Tried to send you document, some sections have bounced back - perhaps the files are too large. The book is available for free download here:

Thank you. Got the book from the website link. I have a become interested in older building techniques since visiting the Hebrides and seeing the old thatch cottages. You never see stuff like that here in USA. Thanks again, Chip
