do you have flush-mounted windows?

The wardrobe in the dressing room should have been finished ages ago - I’m not telling you anything new, am I???

At the moment, however, we have our old, shabby wardrobe that was in the basement for sports gear temporarily parked in the dressing room, and from the in-laws we also got a kind of guest wardrobe. That’s what’s keeping us going for now. Because actually we don’t want to put everything away yet only to have to take it all out again when the wardrobe arrives.



On the other side there is still a box:


The lamp hasn’t been installed yet either - which we think doesn’t make sense because it would probably just get in the way when the wardrobe is installed. But thank God it’s summer and it’s already light early and late dark, so far we haven’t missed having a light there.

After the carpenter probably noticed that I’m quite annoyed by now, he promised us the wardrobe next week - the carcasses, the doors will come later. But at least: then we could hang up our clothes! They’ll just still be visible to everyone, but I don’t have to keep moving things back and forth.

And yes: visible to everyone - because we have the craftsmen in the house every day. And since the bedroom (of course) isn’t finished yet, we don’t have a private area worthy of the name:


As you can see: open sockets for switches and plugs here too…

At least: my workplace has been functioning since yesterday! So I can do my day of home office again. I’m very grateful for that!


The desk is still a temporary solution - let’s see what finally ends up there.

So we already have internet - the telephone will take a bit longer. If we connect it in the basement in the server room, then we’d also be back on the landline. So Telekom has performed well for us. But unfortunately our electrician hasn’t had time yet to install the necessary connections.
The place for the telephone is already there:


That’s where the orchid is (Besta from Ikea, but we think it fits in here really well) - let’s see when that will happen…

The living room is still somewhat makeshift too - but so far that hasn’t bothered us. We haven’t had time anyway to just flop down in front of the TV.


The innocent box in the foreground conceals what still awaits us...

In the planned guest room we have already tidied up well, there really isn’t much left lying around:


The shelves will still go in the basement room and the cupboard stays in the niche - the rest is small stuff.

The real tasks are still waiting for us here:

We were able to secure a room at my mother's and there is really still a lot standing around... I have no idea how we managed to fit all of this into 76sqm...

A complete flop was also the new scratching post for the kitties:


They don’t even look at it with their naked asses - which might also be because there’s just too much going on and they can hardly be gotten out from under the bed in the bedroom.

The piano also moved. That was quite an operation!
Getting it out of the apartment was the first act. Then we had asked a friend to come with his big van for transport - but he got totally wasted at a birthday party the night before and was therefore a total no-show.
My brother had arranged a heavy-duty truck and with that, they drove my piano through the village to its new home:

It’s definitely an advantage to live in a village without significant traffic. That probably wouldn’t have worked like that in Munich *g*

And in hindsight: it was much more practical than hoisting the heavy thing first into a transporter and then out again.

It will be fine... why should you be better off than everyone else?

For us, it was: August loooose. Then we gave notice when the screed was dry. For the end of November. The move was in mid-October. Everything was finished except for rework and small stuff (a few skirting boards, kitchen front, stuff like that). The thing that took the longest was the living room cabinet from the carpenter - but even that was within reason.

We moved in without a sink and not to mention lamps, furniture, or partially missing baseboards ;D. I think it happens to almost everyone! It gets better every week until after a year you still don't have some things and have already gotten used to the status quo...
