Klussen/DIY (last few days)

Our new house is getting along nicely! We can almost move in... a few more days and we will be moving in. The wooden floors have been installed and waxed in white- and grey-wash. The walls have been painted and the bathroom should be finished within 2 days.

Seems like everything is nearly finished, but a lot of small chores remain to be done. We need to finish up the last walls and finish painting after we installed new opening doors (openslaande deuren) into the garden. We also need to finish up painting cupboards, painting in the attic and quite a few other (non painting) things...

As long as we can move in this Saturday everything is ok. After that all the other DIY/chores can be finshed.

On to the next target:

1. Finishing everything so we can move in!

The next few days no work for us, but a 'moving vacation'....

New doors!

New doors (opening into the garden) are installed!

Both can be opened extending the room into the garden.

Klussen/DIY in our new home

We are renovating our new house. In Dutch we call this 'klussen', the English word is 'DIY' I was told by Caroline, Ivo's girlfriend.

We have a contractor for our bathroom and a contractor for our new doors to the garden. We also have a 'parketeur' who will install our wooden floor.

We (Machteld, me, family and friends) are taking care of the rest: filling up holes, cracks, painting walls, closets, the attic, coordinating the electricty, fixing the kitchen, etc, etc.
