  12. Il faut compter 1000€ le m2 pour les travaux, sinon c'est trop ! Tiens en compte pour faire ton prêt et ne pense pas emménager avant deux ans car les finitions s'éternisent en général. Il y a un petit jardin derrière ?

  16. What's a "retaper"? My eyes are seeing this as "re-tape-er" which of course I know isn't right! :) I like the facade of this building, the decay has a lovliness about it.

  21. Great picture and great building. I'd love to do a rehab here. A little TLC (ok a lot of TLC) and this beauty could shine again.
