Gorneval

Ok… I’ve been accepted at the school, and even to the class itself. I had a date, a amount to pay, everything…
But I changed my idea. I have another profession in mind, and I’ve also been accepted. But that doesn’t change my passion for construction and renovation!
Actually, I’m back in France, at a friend’s house, in which I’ve been working last summer for a month and where I’ll spend my next two months. Why? Because he bought an old hotel and I’m the lead worker here! We have to clean every level from everything (including walls) and build something completelly new. From destruction to final painting, on 4 floors. I’m learning as much as I can in order to be able to build my own house someday…
So no more class, but real experience.

It’s been a month or so, and I’m proud to say that I’m still practicing every day.
But more than just being proud, I am suprised to realize that I already feel some changes in myself. The way I see things is much more relaxed, my breathing is better, I began (only starting, though) to correct some trouble I founded in myself…
So, it certainly worth trying it!
I’m only starting something I would like to continu for my whole life.

Next step: Find a master. Books are great, and I’m happy to say that there is a lot of good ones, but the experience would be very different with someone to help me.

There is a lot of thing to know and learn. One that alway interrested me is (everything that goes in and around)construction and renovation.
In fact, I was accepted to a carpenter class, but I decided to take another way. Anyway, since last summer, I have the chance to have a friend who’s alway starting new projects, mainly into buying an old building and give it a fresh touch, so to say. So I’m learning a lot by myself and by working with many different people!
