A Bathtub in Our Kitchen - Martin Robert W.

In this second volume of the Bathtub Trilogy, the renovation of an old French farmhouse continues, with the primary goal of achieving an indoor bathroom.

Aside from the sundry construction work, there is a first-time visit to a French dentist, and the intricacies of the French voting system are encountered. Various electrical issues arise, culminating in a farm building catching fire.

A chilling tale of wartime stupidity is recounted.

And we are introduced to a new character; a real-life Obelix.
