progress

So... we are officially moving this weekend. As in, we are transporting our goods to our new house this weekend. We rented a large van, tonight we'll take apart all the furniture. Everything is Ikea, so you only need one Allan key for everything. In theory. I hope we still have the manuals, to put everything together again...

Meanwhile works in the house are going strong: the sewage piping has been replaced - including two new toilet pots, the electricity system has been updated (thanks, Bram & Jonas!), new floorboards have been laid in the bathroom (thanks, pa!) and now we're placing dry plaster walls in the bathroom. Between all this we also installed our new freezer and a large sink in the garage. Including new water pipes and link to the sewage system, of course! And we have television/phone/internet as well; when the big works are done I'll do a post about digital TV. Very nice technology, too bad the content is mostly crap.

Remains to be done in the immediate future: buying and installing our bathroom furniture, bath and shower; laying the black cork floor in the bathroom; buying and installing the kitchen; etc...

For kitchen and bathroom we made a nice discovery yesterday: black glass mosaic tiles. Things are starting to come together: we decided on the kitchen and bathroom layout, wood types, tiles, ceiling, lights and furniture. We even already bought our bath tub tap. We wanted a nice design tap, untill we saw the price: close to 300 EUR!

All that's left to do now is installing everything :)
