I was able to get down the house last night and actually put in a bit of work. I have to admit I’ve not done a huge amount on it over the past few weeks due to other committments, but I feel I’ve got back on track again now. When I first bought the place at the end of March I thought I’d be moved in by now, but coming up for 3 months later I’m not. The main reason I’ve slowed down is that I’ve got no money until pay day next week, but last night I realised there were quite a few things I really should’ve done which don’t cost any money. I should be ahead of where I am but I’ll put that down to experience and know that should I do this again I will be much quicker.
I finished the tiling around the bathroom room (already had tiles), I hung a door upstairs (already had door), I weeded the garden, I fixed the bath panels back on the bath, I peeled some wallpaper and I generally just felt a lot more focussed. I’m getting some carpet today and will fit that this week in the main bedroom, and then I can start moving more bits in.
It’ll definitely be a bit strange when I finally move in, but good at the same time as summer is here and I’ll be able to have a cracking housewarming party/bbq. I now know it’s not best to set deadlines of moving in but a couple of weeks is realistic now I think.
Oh, may I come? That’s a safe invitation given the distance.
