Renovation time

Right now there are renovations going on both on the outside and on the inside.

A few months after I moved into my flat October 97 I suggested at a meeting that we should do something about the grounds around our houses. I was made fun off. Now 13 years later things are happening. On the 6th of September things happened, well it really started last year when we got to see the suggestions a landscape architect had done. Earlier this summer I came home for lunch and the large tree outside my balcony was gone. And on the 6th of September things really started to happen.



Last Saturday, a month later ...

I have to admit I’m a bit worried that they won’t be able to finish before the snow comes. I do not want to think about how it will be outside if they don’t.

Now that was the outside. …

On the inside this is happening.

On the 29th of November they will start knocking down the walls in my bathroom. It is going to be new walls, floor with floor heating, a ceiling with spotlights and new furniture Stella will once more be staying with my parents but this time it will only for a month before we get to be together again.

Another thing that is going on is that I’m finally doing something with my spare room. That room has been storage when I have been working on the other rooms, it is my computer room, my library, that is where I put things I need to keep but don’t know what to do with and so.
I have carried 8 paper bags with books and the same amount with cross-stitch magazines to the Red Cross shop. Next Friday the kids are coming over for a “tacos and book choosing evening”. I hope that when they go home none of my, my siblings and parents childhood books are left in my living room. If there are, a choice will be made depending of age and memory. Are they my teenaged books no problem – Red Cross next, my parents old books – storaged.
