Yikes, well our house will definitely be more finished than that. (Mostly because the bathroom is already finished.)

*waits for more replies about the date*

The house is slowly progressing. :)

yalahii.

NOW they've changed my holidays to july and august(july 16th to august 4th)

if sage happens aroudn that time,i could possibly come(if i can afford,that is,which is not sure yet,so don't make your planning depending on me(erm..yes.whatever the grammatically correct form might be)

No more washing machine. Today we had my mother-in-law pick up our first load of laundry (to wash it for us).

The first room is almost ready. Tomorrow I'll polish the floor in our bedroom, making it ready (after drying) for furniture. :) And quite possibly I'll clean the floor of one of the other rooms.

Yalahii.

Floors on the first floor are done and the attic floor is done too. Very pretty. I've also started painting the living room. Only the edges so far, but those are finished now so my father-in-law can start with a roller (or whatever it's called*).

Today we go to pick up the first load of furniture. Tomorrow and the day after we go get load two and three.

Tomorrow is also the day my internet connection will be moved, so I probably won't be around for a couple of days. (As my computer is probably one of the last things to be moved.)

* Time for a new acronym? OWIC!

*dusts off the greenhouse*

All our stuff is in the new house now. Most of it still in boxes though.

Yalahii.

Since nobody else is responding and my house is not coming along as quickly as I'd hoped, I'll keep the date at september for now. (Because june is just gonna be here before I know it.)

But slowly but certainly my house is becoming an actual house. The kitchen is becoming an actual usuable kitchen. Meaning that all the stuff that was piled on the counter that did not belong in the kitchen has now found another home. The room that will hold our laundry holds the closets it's supposed to hold AND they've got doors AND they've been bolted together and to the wall. My books are in their cases (although horribly mixed up) that are nicely bolted together.

And I've started on cleaning the kitchen floor.

Tonight we're going once again to Ikea for more stuff. We still need a few step ladders (for the huge closets and book cases), a couple of cabinets for the bathroom, night dressers (or stands? whatever the thingy beside your bed is called) and lots of other small stuff. Oh, and curtains. We're still trying to figure out what the living room needs.

Gah! They were supposed to deliver the bed between 4 and 8 PM. Just past 8 we get a call by the driver in what is only barely Dutch that "our address doesn't work". Apparently his navigation system couldn't find it or something. After many phone calls and my driving out to intercept him and send him in the right direction (I had to go get some mail from our old address) he arrived at twenty minutes to ten.

So the bed is still lying in our living room in pieces. And will probably stay there until the weekend. :(

Oh well, at least it DID arrive.

Yalahii.

*flies the flag half-mast*

Yalahii.

Very okay. The flag is for the national memorial of WWII.

Our house is starting to look like a home, although it's still a bit messy.

Yalahii.

Good luck! Choosing is hard. This weekend we're going to pick curtains.

Repost of the list of people joining Sage so far (although not all are set in stone yet):

So the list of people who want to attend so far is:
Magpie
Aan Allein
Libra
Yvls
Sahi (of course)

Any more? I already stated in the previous greenhouse that if you bring a long a camping mattress and a sleeping bag, there will be a place to sleep if needed. (I have one mattress to offer and in need we also have some self-inflating mattresses.)

Yalahii.

Well there's a first time for everything. :)

Today we're going to try for Ikea again. The first thing to go wrong is that we forgot to bring the list of stuff we should be looking at. *rolls eyes* Oh well, I think I remember most of the stuff that was on it. Just not the measurements we took.

Yalahii.
