Some news after one year of silence

Time goes so fast ! It’s already been over a year that I have not given some news here.

Since my last post, things have advanced again :

The 6 July of 2015, our second daughter came to life, the two sisters are happy together and we also !

Our big construction project is moving forward slowly but surely : the last year was most dedicated to the “longère’s” roofing.

My sawmill also grew, I now have a all terrain forklift (bought used an repaired by myself last winter), the saw got a shed over it (also built last winter) and more recently I got a sharpening machine to become more independent with the blades maintenance.
I also made a dedicated web site : http://boisduguidon.com/ and some business cards and flyers. It’s my own small business after all 😉

New life

​It has been a long time​ since​ ​I have written an​ything here. Sorry for that, I’am still alive 😉 but my life has changed a bit.

Since 2013,​ I am owner of an old mill in the Morvan (Burgundy)​. I​ am working a lot on it​ as it was ​​deserted for 60 years​ – ​everything has to be ​re​done : from ​top to bottom, and we have decided to do everything by oursel​ves.​
So I ​am experimenting a lot of new skills : driving my excavator to bury the electricity and water connections, felling 25m high poplars, carpentering a lot to redo all the roofings are just some of them.

​

O​ur daughter came to this world​ in 2013​. ​She is now one year old and seems happy to have this not​ so​ ​conventional life. ​We​ are so happy to see here grow up each day in what we hope to become​ the best place to spend her childhood.

And last but not least, I am changing my professional activity, leaving behind me the technical design and development for commercial projects​. I am completely diving into​ woodworking​.​​ I have​ ​started​ a sawmill at our new home. This is the very beginning and for now I will mainly saw wood for our roofings but I hope to quickly get clients and see this activity grow up.

However, I’ll try to maintain and show the interactive installations I made with Lab212. So if interested, you can still contact me for Stop-iT, Appel d’Air, Face to Face and Loup garou.

I will try to keep this site alive to relate personal projects and to share some news every now an​d​ then.
