Day 18 of 40 Just a Perfect Day


We did a lot today and now it is very visible that we are moving houses. There’s still a lot that needs to be done but it’s the progress that counts. In the living room and the kitchen all the wallpaper has been stripped off. Upstairs two rooms are nearly done. Here in the old house the original washing stand needs to be replaced, I had stored that in the attic and my brother carried it down. Then he and my son gently removed the framework, doors and glass between kitchen and living room.  They didn’t even need a crowbar or a sledgehammer. It looks nice and even bigger than before.
At the end of the day when we returned home, my daughter prepared dinner and me and my other daughter removed some sand from the tiny front yard to the backyard  where still is a small crater left. After dinner I worked some more in the backyard until it was too dark to distinguish clay from frogs properly. I was not done yet. Last night in my bed I suddenly realized the appointment I made with the guy for the carpet next Saturday. That means that my wardrobe, bed and bedside tables needs to be out there by then. First I did the laundry to make a little space in the bathroom. Then I made a start with making the study empty. I need that room to store the things from my bedroom but first the laminate flooring there needs to be removed. And before that I need to disassemble the big corner desk there. But that’s something for tomorrow.
