La Restoration du Presbytere

Ca n'est jamais bon de tomber en amour.....

C'est bien que c'est passer en 2013 lors de notre premier visit a Montebello. Le batiment etait en vente et il l'était toujours l'année suivant. Alors nous debution à imaginer les possibilités.

Le Presbytere de Montebello, construit en 1938, sous la direction de Monseigneur Chamberland, qui était le prêtre du village.

Nouveauté pour la saison 2020, Manoir Chamberland vous offre 2 nouvelles options. Ralentissez, au milieu du jardin vous retrouverez un parcours de croque et un autre de Pétanque (Boule ou Bocce). Bien sûr, ce n’est qu’une excuse pur ralentir et de passer un moment agréable avec son partenaire.

Digging our Pool

Here is the beginning of what is now our outdoor swimming pool. We had to hire a construction crew to dig the hole for the pool.

New Sewer Lines

We had to hire a construction crew to dig down around 20 feet into the ground to install our brand new sewer system.

French Pool Pavillion

Our pool and pool pavillion under construction, there was a lot of rain that year!

Our 3rd Floor

When we originally purchased the building, the attic had 12 foot ceilings, with nothing in the room. It has now been refinished as our 3rd floor.

22 Missing Windows

When we bought the house there were 22 missing or cracked windows. This is one down, and 65 more to restore!

French Drainage

In order to reduce the internal leaks, we installed all new french drainage around the perimeter.

Rebuilding Deck & Steps

The front desk and the steps had also collapsed on us, requiring a complete rebuild.

Wall Collapse

This inner supporting wall had also collapsed on us, and needed to be completely rebuilt.

Mortar Restoration

Much of the outside mortar on the stone walls had disintegrated and needed repairs.

2nd Floor Hallway

The 2nd floor hallway had the ceiling collapse a long time ago, causing another area for us to restore.

Original Birch Hardwood

We thought that the original hardwood floor was cherry ... turns out it is birch. These floors had not been touched since they were installed in 1938!

Rained more inside than out...

It rained more inside the house than it did outside when we purchased the presbytery. This is an example of a wall that water ran down during a rainstorm.
