finished, and I have posted a pic of that also, all with my friend's
permission, hope you enjoy them.

What an amazing thing.
I've seen loads of old public wash houses in France usually with a faintly Romanesque feel - columns, tiled roof, etc , but never one with an arch into a hillside on private land.
