Moved in
We moved in to the new place today. Hurrah.
We’ve got a basic kitchen (thank you to my plumber friend Ian who connected up the propane gas bottles outside) and a fully functioning downstairs bathroom. I finally got round to buying a sink and everything is connected up. We are still waiting for the built-in fridge delivery but we have got a temporary free standing fridge in the kitchen until it arrives.
The place is still a bit of a mess with everything from the rental property in boxes or carrier bags, but at least we are in. Moving out from the old place took ages and quite a few trips back and forth with the trailer, but apart from the final clean everything is out.
At the moment we are sleeping in the office downstairs as our bedroom upstairs has turned into a storage space, so there is still quite a bit to do. The main jobs in the next few days before the kids come to stay for the weekend are :-
- Clear lounge and oil floorboards
- Connect water and waste to kids bathroom sinks
- Fit shower mixer and shower door to kids bathroom
- Hook up the satellite for the TV – Kids need TV and I want to watch the Hungarian Forumla One Grand Prix
Then next week we have our one year on party and the following week my Mum and three nieces are coming to stay!
I wish the days were a bit longer, but on the plus side we don’t have to travel 30 minutes each way to and from the rental place.
Even with lots of unfinished jobs, there is one plus side, the France Telecom man came the other day and connected the Telephone and ADSL, so at least I have a 4meg broadband connection, not that I’ve got much time for surfing.
