So, we have moved into our new house!
Yes folks, we’ve done it! After a very long and very stressful few months we have finally moved into our new home and it is totally awesome! We are both extremely happy and look forward to the future. However, I am not looking forward to the immediate future so much as it is completely consumed by decorating, there’s always a down side isn’t there? But, I’ve decided the best way to look at it is that once everything is all done and dusted we will have a great house that we won’t have to touch for a few years. Well, until Christine decides that she has gone off a particular colour scheme or wants a change for some completely unknown or unexplainable reason, but she is a woman so this kind of behaviour is perfectly acceptable. Well, through her eyes anyway. She’ll probably want to decorate the wall with bags or something. Actually, I think she would really like that because she would insist on me buying her two of every bag, one for the wall and one for her so she’ll always be co-ordinated whenever she enters the room. She’s sneaky like that. Anyway, I seem to have deviated from the subject matter and dug myself a hole from which I will never surface from again. So yes, a lot of decorating over the next months but we have made quite a bit of progress so far. The spare bedroom is now finished and we are using that as our bedroom for the time being until we get round to decorating the master bedroom. The small bedroom is also finished with the exception of changing the carpet; Christine will use this as her office. We have just started work on the living room; so far we have knocked down the old fireplace and painted the ceiling and skirting boards. The new fireplace arrived yesterday so I’ll be fitting that this week along with some new skirting board and a tiled area for the fireplace to sit on and fill up the gap in the flooring where the old fireplace used to be. All that will be left to do in the living room is to paint the walls and buy some new furniture.
I think that is about everything at the moment, I’ll tell more as and when it happens, there may even be one or two photos as well. You lucky people!
Oh yeah! I Almost forgot, when we moved in the fitted dishwasher was broken. Worst.day.EVER! However, it is now fixed and I am over the moon with it, no more washing up! Get in.
Steve out.
