boxing, without any pugilists

So, the movers came on Friday. They were very good.

Fast, friendly, intelligent.

Picked them up via a recommendation from H of H&R.

So now the house has all our stuff in it.

L to R: study, lounge, dining room.

We may rearrange some of this… :-D

Things we can’t do in the house right now include: shower (inside, anyway) / bath; wash clothes; cook food.

We can: refridgerate stuff (in the entrance hall at the moment); sleep (bed is in); wear clothes (we unpacked into the cupboards).

Since the can’ts are fairly substantinal, we are kindly being allowed to crash at Casa Evil (thanks EL! thanks Doc!) for the week while the builder bods make it a house of can.

On Monday morning, I’m seeing the letting agents at the old house to the do the final-inspection-give-us-our-fucking-deposit-back thing. We shall see how that goes…

Parfait is at the old house right now, fixing bits of the walls. Tomorrow we go there and paint.

Sploosh!

doors! lights! sinks!

(but without the actual sink part of the sinks)

after what feels like ages – kitchen doors! with glass, even.
(the carpenter had health-related problems, hence the delay.)
we like them. they look ace.

some spot light action (tiltage of all lights to follow):
kitchen (pictured: future home of cooker and bench things);
lounge (scaffolding: to be spray-painted gold and accessorised with tiny disco balls, obv.);
study (parfait: seen here herding the rowdy paint tins. they go a bit mental after hours…).
