&lt;p&gt;Wir hätten einmal einen dicken Vorhang zwischen Küche und Esszimmer, der tagein, tagaus die Kochgerüche relative gut aus dem Wohnzimmer hält und im Winter sicherlich viel Wärme in Ess- und Wohnzimmer.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-VesBLs69AIY/TjVSEQ3YqKI/AAAAAAAAArA/y64VtK4pB1c/s1600-h/P1010064%25255B3%25255D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline;

&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Dann nämlich wenn dieser Karmerad zum ersten Mal angeschürt wird:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-LoM9xS0As7g/TjVSHKT9BJI/AAAAAAAAArI/78TtORD_Bck/s1600-h/P1010069%25255B5%25255D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px;

&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Und hier ist unsere kleine Bibliothek, in der noch lange nicht all unsere Bücher stehen.

Schau mal Schatz – da liegt ein totes Tier auf dem Fußboden. Ach nee warte, dass ist nur unser Schaffell!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Ja, da hängt auch immer noch ein Kabel aus der Decke – ohne Lampe dran.

When the previous owners had exchanged the windows to the balcony they never made sure the walls were sealed properly. Whenever it was raining heavily and the water was standing on the balcony or splashing back onto the wall, the wet patch inside would grow.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;To prevent any mould from growing something had to be done. Something that, unfortunately could not be fixed with a quick fix solution. Luckily Dad came to the rescue. With the hubby’s help they removed the old plaster, filled the holes with Polyurethane foam before sealing and plastering the whole thing again.

Jedes Nachttischchen wurde zweimal gestichen, 24 Stunden Trockenzeit und voila fertig.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="400"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="200"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TGGckmwpGCI/AAAAAAAAAhQ/bJW7QbFfndA/s1600-h/P1010799%5B5%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="P1010799" border="0" alt="P1010799" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TGGclPJegoI/AAAAAAAAAhU/W7iVcdAdZ4k/P1010799_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="334" height="252"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="200"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TGGclglZTQI/AAAAAAAAAhY/5u46C-PP3j4/s1600-h/P1010822%5B5%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="P1010822" border="0" alt="P1010822" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TGGcmPw33RI/AAAAAAAAAhc/2J4ciGkBGkE/P1010822_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="334" height="252"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="200"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TGGcnFpu_xI/AAAAAAAAAhg/MSe3xFLq4uQ/s1600-h/P1010811%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="P1010811" border="0" alt="P1010811" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TGGcnwml1yI/AAAAAAAAAhk/uUsXpylJp2Q/P1010811_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="334" height="252"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="200"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TGGcohcRNyI/AAAAAAAAAho/RZsjHDNAg4w/s1600-h/P1010814%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="P1010814" border="0" alt="P1010814" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TGGcpfGWwuI/AAAAAAAAAhs/IaWn211_AAc/P1010814_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="334" height="252"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt; &lt;p&gt;Weil wir nicht wußten was wir über den Fernseher hängen sollten, haben wir Rahmen einfach mit Stoff bespannt, der die Farben im Wohnzimmer einfach wieder aufgegriffen hat.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="400"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="200"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TGGcqMNMqbI/AAAAAAAAAhw/CkHjSnWztLU/s1600-h/P1010815%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="P1010815" border="0" alt="P1010815" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TGGcq4y4opI/AAAAAAAAAh0/E2clCH2tKIk/P1010815_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="334" height="252"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="200"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TGGcrmakZSI/AAAAAAAAAh4/1s-0-Wncq9o/s1600-h/P1010819%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="P1010819" border="0" alt="P1010819" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TGGcsGeEseI/AAAAAAAAAh8/62iVX1GaShY/P1010819_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="334" height="252"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Und dann war da noch das kleine Gästezimmer, in dem heute auch noch die Lampe an ihren dafür vorgesehenen Platz kommt.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="400"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="200"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TGGewSNLYDI/AAAAAAAAAiA/_IUUZ9inirI/s1600-h/P1010829%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="P1010829" border="0" alt="P1010829" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TGGew8wwEnI/AAAAAAAAAiE/DgHK_Ma065U/P1010829_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="264" height="350"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="200"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TGGexefajRI/AAAAAAAAAiI/YnqvF0vrdvA/s1600-h/P1010830%5B5%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="P1010830" border="0" alt="P1010830" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TGGex4U9dGI/AAAAAAAAAiM/Dm4ogyEyVoM/P1010830_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="374" height="351"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="200"&gt;Gut, noch sind wir auch in den Gästezimmern noch lange nicht fertig.

Ja wir leben noch.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Das Wetter ist seit Wochen mehr als umwerfend. Ein heißer, heißer Sommer. So heiß, dass unser Rasen in ein verbranntes, braunes Etwas mutiert ist. Hauptsache die Blumen stehen, Dank regelmässigen Gießens, wie eine Eins.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Und weil es so heiß war, gaben wir dem Badesee und der Erholung gegenüber den Fußleisten den Vorzug und hatten nicht mal ein schlechtes Gewissen dabei.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Nun, da der Besuch von Melisa und ihrer Familie immer näher rückt, gibt es keinen Aufschub mehr. Ein Badezimmerspiegel mit unseren Wunschmaßen ist in Auftrag gegeben und sollte nächste oder übernächste Woche geliefert werden. Für das Dachfenster haben wir einen Hitzeschutz bestellt, der von außen angebracht wird, damit sich das Zimmer nicht zu stark aufheizt. Der beste Ehemann der Welt hat diesen heute abgeholt.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Eine Lampe ziert nun das große Gästezimmer&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TEhMkY3EJlI/AAAAAAAAAdY/AhncDo9zR0o/s1600-h/P1010701%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="P1010701" border="0" alt="P1010701" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TEhMliowzRI/AAAAAAAAAdc/oiW4UJ86o_o/P1010701_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="580" height="772"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TEhMmSPM-NI/AAAAAAAAAdg/7R99aIcOzzI/s1600-h/P1010710%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="P1010710" border="0" alt="P1010710" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TEhMnmR3bWI/AAAAAAAAAdk/fa-Jov6b27E/P1010710_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="580" height="772"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Die Fußleisten folgten auf dem – ACHTUNG WORTSPIEL- Fuße.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TEhMoXNiVXI/AAAAAAAAAdo/SIFZl4mLKMg/s1600-h/P1010713%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="P1010713" border="0" alt="P1010713" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TEhMpfHithI/AAAAAAAAAds/k39ypiQE31o/P1010713_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="580" height="772"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Ja, das sommerliche Outfit ist der hochsommerlichen Hitze im Dachgeschoß geschuldet…. Und auch draußen waren wir nicht untätig. Der Rasen brennt vor sich hin und während der beste Ehemann der Welt das “Unkraut” gemäht hat, hat “the Wife” sich des sprießenden &lt;strike&gt;Unheils&lt;/strike&gt; Unkrauts im Hof angenommen.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Wie immer gibt es hier einen Vorher – Nachher Vergleich. Das Beet im Hintergrund ist noch nicht fertig, sollte aber heute Abend seine Vollendung finden.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="400"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="200"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TEhMrdOfP8I/AAAAAAAAAdw/28um4h4yPEI/s1600-h/P1010716%5B11%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="P1010716" border="0" alt="P1010716" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TEhMsZuCP8I/AAAAAAAAAd0/VMDOqctXS0k/P1010716_thumb%5B9%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="413" height="353"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="200"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TEhMuAExLgI/AAAAAAAAAd4/8izE6tncKtc/s1600-h/P1010719%5B12%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="P1010719" border="0" alt="P1010719" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TEhMvQd9CGI/AAAAAAAAAd8/wufBJ4x6_yg/P1010719_thumb%5B8%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="472" height="349"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt; &lt;p&gt;Damit die Sonne nicht so gnadenlos auf die Terasse und somit in das Wohnzimmer knallt (man will ja auch mal draußen sitzen und nicht nur mit heruntergelassenen Jalousien drinnen) haben wir in ein Segeltuch investiert, das wenigstens noch ein wenig mehr Schatten spendet.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;So lässt es sich gut aushalten:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TEhMwSXYuUI/AAAAAAAAAeA/1FWAKWnESnM/s1600-h/P1010729%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="P1010729" border="0" alt="P1010729" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TEhMyOjK2mI/AAAAAAAAAeE/RbqAlkMg1LU/P1010729_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="580" height="772"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TEhMzgZBIdI/AAAAAAAAAeI/J3gHOMAseUU/s1600-h/P1010735%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="P1010735" border="0" alt="P1010735" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TEhM1OPrgWI/AAAAAAAAAeM/dXTpXvqN8yI/P1010735_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" height="484"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Es geht voran.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5709787837713741507-1081564654445080758?l=homemakeoverforever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://homemakeoverforever.blogspot.com/feeds/1081564654445080758/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5709787837713741507&amp;postID=1081564654445080758&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5709787837713741507/posts/default/1081564654445080758'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5709787837713741507/posts/default/1081564654445080758'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://homemakeoverforever.blogspot.com/2010/07/updates-im-juli.html' title='Updates im Juli'/><author><name>The Wife</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12847082237158571421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TEhMliowzRI/AAAAAAAAAdc/oiW4UJ86o_o/s72-c/P1010701_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709787837713741507.post-5864548676181671751</id><published>2010-06-06T12:18:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2010-06-06T12:18:16.270+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Sunflower Child</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;After helping friends move in bright sunshine and temperatures well in their 80s yesterday, we decided to take it slow today. Finally – after almost three weeks of constant rain, I managed to partially free one of the flower beds from weed and plant the sunflower seedlings my mum reared for us.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Nachdem wir Freunden gestern bei schönstem Sonnenschein und ca. 30°C beim Umzug geholfen haben, lassen wir es heute gemächlich angehen. Endlich habe ich es, nach ca. drei Wochen Dauerregen, geschafft eines der Blumenbeete soweit von Unkraut zu befreien, dass ich die Sonnenblumensetzlinge einpflanzen konnte, die meine Mum freundlicherweise für uns herangezogen hatte.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Those are the babies we’re talking about&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Das sind die Babys&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TAt1whWokpI/AAAAAAAAAc4/mLKl_tRs274/s1600-h/P1010519%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px;

&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;and this is what the flower beds looked like&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;und so sah das Gartenbeet aus&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/TAt1zPP_YDI/AAAAAAAAAdA/QBs6UPA09Kk/s1600-h/P1010523%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px;

That’s what’s up. Thanks to the ever recurring winter the sidewalks and roads are icy. Now the females in our family seem prone to falls. Darn it. I better watch out. First off was my auntie P., who slipped on her way to work and broke her elbow. Next was auntie B. who broke her wrist and yesterday we received note that hubby’s mom fell and broke her fibula. Boooo to the icy weather. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Hubby was near his parent’s anyway and took the chance to pay his mom a visit in the hospital and will only return tomorrow night. Le sigh. I hope all three will feel better soon.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Gebrochener/s Ellenbogen, Handgelenk und Wadenbein…Dank des immer wiederkehrenden Winters und den damit einhergehenden glatten Straßen und Bürgersteigen ist es zu verdanken, dass die Frauen in unserer Familie wie die Fliegen fallen. Hoffentlich bleibt der Rest verschont. Die bisherige Bilanz? Erst brach sich Tante P. den Ellenbogen, dann brach sich Tante B. das Handgelenk und gestern erreichte uns die Nachricht, dass die Mama des Lieblingsmannes gestürzt ist und mit einem gebrochenen Wadenbein im Krankenhaus auf eine OP wartet :( Buh. Geh weg Du doofes Winterwetter.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Der Lieblingsmann war beruflich nicht weit von seinen Eltern unterwegs und hat aus gegebenem Anlass die Chance genutzt bei seiner Mama im Krankenhaus vorbeizuschauen. Leider kommt er erst morgen Abend zurück.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Wünsche allen dreien recht gute, schnelle und problemlose Heilung.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5709787837713741507-1895304009257318795?l=homemakeoverforever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://homemakeoverforever.blogspot.com/feeds/1895304009257318795/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5709787837713741507&amp;postID=1895304009257318795&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5709787837713741507/posts/default/1895304009257318795'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5709787837713741507/posts/default/1895304009257318795'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://homemakeoverforever.blogspot.com/2010/03/whats-up.html' title='What’s up?'/><author><name>The Wife</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12847082237158571421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709787837713741507.post-4554631327914816004</id><published>2010-03-07T12:33:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2010-03-13T00:42:46.394+01:00</updated><title type='text'>The Köttbullar Giant, the Witch and the Wardrobe</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;With the hallway finished we were finally able to head out and buy a wardrobe. What a relief to no longer having to think where I put my coat the night before.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We were lucky and unknowingly made a great Deal at the wellknown blue and yellow furniture store. A couple of weeks back I saw the wardrobe that I wanted but since we had no space to put it yet, we didn’t buy it. Good thing too, because yesterday, when we went out to buy it, it was heavily reduced when you owned an IKEA Family card. Originally we would have paid € 89 and € 79, so € 168 for both pieces but paid only € 29 and € 19 and saved a whopping € 120, which left enough to splurge on the huge mirror.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jetzt, da der Flur endlich fertig ist hatten wir endlich Gelegenheit eine Garderobe zu kaufen. Welch eine Erleichterung sich nicht mehr fragen zu müssen, wo man am Vorabend seine Jacke hingehängt hatte.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unwissentlich haben wir als Besitzer der IKEA Family Card dann auch noch ein großartiges Schnäppchen gemacht. Die Garderobe, die ich ohnehin kaufen wollte, gab es dann statt für € 89 und € 79, also € 168 für € 29 und € 19, also sagenhafte € 120 Ersparnis. Man muss auch mal Glück haben. So blieb am Ende sogar noch genug Geld für einen grossen Spiegel.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S5OPCqArubI/AAAAAAAAAUM/XdIsdQtUNeY/s1600-h/006%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px" title="006" border="0" alt="006" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S5OPDQkGAxI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/w_h2O5bhnjk/006_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="380" height="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S5OPEL6gKWI/AAAAAAAAAUU/5JlZ0H9Qm1k/s1600-h/007%5B6%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; DISPLAY: inline; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px" title="007" border="0" alt="007" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S5OPExfS8wI/AAAAAAAAAUY/vbIqYwb7gFs/007_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="380" height="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5709787837713741507-4554631327914816004?l=homemakeoverforever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://homemakeoverforever.blogspot.com/feeds/4554631327914816004/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5709787837713741507&amp;postID=4554631327914816004&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5709787837713741507/posts/default/4554631327914816004'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5709787837713741507/posts/default/4554631327914816004'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://homemakeoverforever.blogspot.com/2010/03/ikea-witch-and-wardrobe.html' title='The Köttbullar Giant, the Witch and the Wardrobe'/><author><name>The Wife</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12847082237158571421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S5OPDQkGAxI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/w_h2O5bhnjk/s72-c/006_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709787837713741507.post-1269082562361669932</id><published>2010-03-05T20:10:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2010-03-05T20:39:04.631+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Ein Flur, ein Klo und Gardinen</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Hooray we finally have tiles in the hallway, the basement and the guest bathroom.

Dort sind nicht nur neue Fliesen auf dem Boden sondern auch an der Wand. Außerdem hat die Gästetoilette ein neues WC, inkl. neuem, wassersparendem Spülkasten sowie einen neuen Heizkörper erhalten. Letzterer muss allerdings noch montiert werden.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Dank gebührt zudem der Mama, denn seit heute kann man nicht mehr direkt in die Küche und die Garderobe schauen. Sieht doch gut aus, oder? Tausend Dank.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Dank auch an unseren herausragenden Fliesenleger Michael und den besten Ehemann der Welt, der einmal mehr organisiert und hantiert hat, um mir nach der Rückkehr von unserer Arbeitswoche in Portugal diese Überraschung präsentieren zu können.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S5FW7I9-LyI/AAAAAAAAASs/KZKJjORVjTs/s1600-h/051%5B6%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="051" border="0" alt="051" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S5FW7lmjcSI/AAAAAAAAASw/6SNxm93zHBY/051_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="380" height="500"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S5FW8edMYqI/AAAAAAAAAS0/1t6XM7xsToQ/s1600-h/057%5B7%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="057" border="0" alt="057" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S5FW86eZRKI/AAAAAAAAAS4/gRdtG6I5GKA/057_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="380" height="500"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S5FW9RFAGtI/AAAAAAAAAS8/M03Qtbz7zTs/s1600-h/055%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="055" border="0" alt="055" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S5FW95jAJZI/AAAAAAAAATA/uCjdY16Nayo/055_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="660" height="500"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S5FW-qaLU0I/AAAAAAAAATE/3nJVrhrLlKc/s1600-h/053%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="053" border="0" alt="053" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S5FW_Rni1OI/AAAAAAAAATI/5hkGkzGaf-o/053_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="660" height="500"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S5FW_5-nOzI/AAAAAAAAATM/T8T32G6wjhY/s1600-h/061%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="061" border="0" alt="061" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S5FXAQBVlDI/AAAAAAAAATQ/jdpXOtEve_4/061_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="380" height="500"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S5FXBQW7PXI/AAAAAAAAATc/s6OsOs7PpQQ/s1600-h/066%5B7%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="066" border="0" alt="066" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S5FXCbceRmI/AAAAAAAAATg/PiqkoNUf6wI/066_thumb%5B5%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="373" height="284"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Nun heißt es am Wochenende Großreinemachen, damit der Staub vom Kleberfräsen und Boden ausgleichen weg ist.

First there was the eyesore in the living room. With the help of Sergej we finally managed to encase that stupid thing with the same flooring we used for the rest of the living room. Topped off with a necessary yet stylish aluminum border, it doesn’t look half bad, does it?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Letztes Wochenende kamen wir endlich dazu noch ein paar Dinge von unserer langen Liste von Dingen die es noch zu tun gibt, zu streichen. Zuvorderst der Schandfleck/Absatz im Wohnzimmer, der nach draußen auf die Terasse führt. Mit Sergejs Hilfe haben wir das schiefe Ding vermessen und verkleidet. Aluminium Leisten dran…schaut doch nicht schlecht aus, oder?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h6 align="center"&gt;Before - Vorher&lt;/h6&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S4QxlmG3SqI/AAAAAAAAAR0/O4bY5oyjb9o/s1600-h/002%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="002" border="0" alt="002" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S4QxmQrAIgI/AAAAAAAAAR4/uAn_4RSL1g8/002_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="380" height="500"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h6 align="center"&gt;During – Währenddessen&lt;/h6&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S4Qxm088cyI/AAAAAAAAAR8/3GV8jezQas8/s1600-h/006%5B9%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="006" border="0" alt="006" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S4Qxnh3G0TI/AAAAAAAAASA/OqprFtOBG3s/006_thumb%5B5%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="380" height="500"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h6 align="center"&gt;After – Danach &lt;/h6&gt; &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S4QxoQw_UHI/AAAAAAAAASE/rx7nMPctKMU/s1600-h/005%5B6%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="005" border="0" alt="005" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S4QxoxzA5AI/AAAAAAAAASI/E6fu-F0U1K0/005_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="500" height="372"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h6 align="center"&gt;Finished – Fertig&lt;/h6&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S4QxptMhdZI/AAAAAAAAASM/bnTv1mfL1pc/s1600-h/027%5B6%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="027" border="0" alt="027" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S4QxqYOheuI/AAAAAAAAASQ/_NBma_Kc-PU/027_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="380" height="500"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We spent most of Saturday doing that. One would NOT believe how tedious this was. Special thanks to Sergej. You rock.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We also put up two of the three closets in the bedroom. Since they were too tall to be reassembled on the floor and then put up, they had to be assembled upright, for which we needed three people.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Wir haben außerdem zwei von unseren drei Kleiderschränken im Schlafzimmer aufgebaut. Da die Schränke zu hoch waren, konnte man sie nicht im Liegen zusammenbauen und dann aufrichten, sondern musste sie stehend zusammenbasteln. Anstrengend.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S4Qxq2e3vKI/AAAAAAAAASU/5_xxyz178EI/s1600-h/034%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="034" border="0" alt="034" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S4Qxr0losII/AAAAAAAAASY/chUAAD0uqGQ/034_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="380" height="500"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;On Sunday we put in the laminat flooring in the small guest bedroom.&amp;nbsp; A bit of cleaning and before you knew it the weekend was over.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Am Sonntag dann nochmal richtig rangeklotzt und im kleinen Gästezimmer noch schnell Laminat gelegt und noch etwas saubermachen und schwupps, war das Wochenende schon wieder vorbei.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S4Qxsd1A8qI/AAAAAAAAASc/IQZ0ydW2DWQ/s1600-h/033%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="033" border="0" alt="033" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S4QxtMDkp7I/AAAAAAAAASg/mbVOoeOnOwU/033_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="380" height="500"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S4QxtuFOXdI/AAAAAAAAASk/UfPCn7vBG2w/s1600-h/040%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="040" border="0" alt="040" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S4QxuWErh0I/AAAAAAAAASo/B5TXzLZIPtY/040_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="380" height="500"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5709787837713741507-666705091148190658?l=homemakeoverforever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://homemakeoverforever.blogspot.com/feeds/666705091148190658/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5709787837713741507&amp;postID=666705091148190658&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5709787837713741507/posts/default/666705091148190658'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5709787837713741507/posts/default/666705091148190658'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://homemakeoverforever.blogspot.com/2010/02/busy-weekend.html' title='Busy Weekend'/><author><name>The Wife</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12847082237158571421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S4QxmQrAIgI/AAAAAAAAAR4/uAn_4RSL1g8/s72-c/002_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709787837713741507.post-5760582994133619581</id><published>2010-02-20T11:37:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2010-02-20T11:37:31.540+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Freedom – Freiheit</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;After a horrible four weeks inside we finally opened the door to the porch so the cats could take their first real sniff at freedom.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Lilly seemingly couldn’t really believe it. She stormed to the door, went through, walked around and ran back in. Maunzerl was a bit confused at first but definitely curious.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Lilly’s second attempt involved snow and resulted in an immediate return to the safety of our living room. In her third attempt she made it all the way to the garage by walking alongside the house where the snow was already melted as Maunzerl was looking on, not quite daring to follow her yet. We have happy cats now.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Nach vier schrecklichen Wochen haben sich die Türen zur Terasse endlich geöffnet und die Miezen hatten Gelegenheit den Duft der Freiheit zu schnuppern.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Lilly konnte ihr Glück kaum fassen. Sie rannte zur Tür und hinaus, stolzierte schnuppernd auf der Terasse herum und rannte zurück in die Sicherheit des warmen, molligen Wohnzimmers. Maunzerl war zuerst irritiert aber absolut neugierig.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Lilly’s zweiter Versuch beinhaltete Schnee und resultierte darin, dass Sie sich sofort wieder nach drinnen verzog.

Needless to say that we’re very sad indeed..&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Wir haben den Überblick über die vergangenen Tage verloren und eine Menge ist passiert. Der Lieblingsmann hat seine Oma im Krankenhaus besucht und es sieht leider gar nicht gut aus. Sie liegt im Koma und wir haben keine große Hoffnung mehr. Unnötig zu sagen, dass wir mehr als traurig sind…&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Still, things need to keep moving in the house. Moving day is approaching fast. This coming Saturday to be exact and to date we have no finished room that we could move into. The wife’s parents and Katie and her hubby made time to help out over the weekend and together we got a lot of things done. Thank you soooo much guys.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Trotzdem müssen die Dinge im Haus weitergehen. Der Umzugstag nähert sich schneller als uns lieb ist. Diesen Samstag, um genau zu sein und bislang haben wir kein Zimmer in das wir ohne weiteres einziehen könnten. Die Eltern der Lieblingsfrau und Kati und ihr Lieblingsmann haben sich am Wochenende freigemacht, um uns wie wild zur Hand zu gehen. Gemeinsam haben wir eine Menge geschafft. Danke, danke, danke and Euch alle.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;We painted the dining room walls and ceiling&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;Wir haben die Decke und Wände im Esszimmer gestrichen&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Before:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S1Y684bZU2I/AAAAAAAAAPc/SnzJN7x1_dM/s1600-h/005%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="005" border="0" alt="005" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S1Y69uY34DI/AAAAAAAAAPg/w0E8N9WJd6o/005_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="515" height="500"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;After:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S1Y6-B9gsfI/AAAAAAAAAPk/LQ2uFMmbLdw/s1600-h/011%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="011" border="0" alt="011" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S1Y6-ienc0I/AAAAAAAAAPo/Yg4S1WlMJd4/011_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="523" height="500"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; We had not yet removed the masking tape…&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Wir haben das Abdeckband an den Deckenbalken noch nicht entfernt…&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S1Y6_dbmmXI/AAAAAAAAAPs/Dr8FP_HIyHE/s1600-h/015%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="015" border="0" alt="015" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S1Y6_w5vTUI/AAAAAAAAAPw/WhHKB5I6kds/015_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="505" height="500"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The hubby and his father in-law spackling the ceiling (well Dad was…the hubby was just fooling around here for the photo)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Der Lieblingsmann und sein Schwiegervater verspachteln die Decke (ok, Dad hat verspachtelt und der Lieblingsmann hat für’s Foto rumgealbert)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;On Sunday we also managed to paint the bedroom, which took less than two hours with four people. Yay us.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Am Sonntag haben wir es auch geschafft das Schlafzimmer zweimal zu streichen. Der Trockenbau ist trotz Tiefgrund sehr durstig. In zwei Stunden waren wir mit vier Leuten aber durch.

The hubby’s lovely grandma had to undergo surgery earlier this week and we thought she’d soon be on the road to recovery. Wednesday night I came down with flu like symptoms. Juuust great. I have not been in the house since Tuesday. My parents planned on coming down for the weekend to help out with spackling and painting the walls, when the hubby got a call that his grandma was doing worse and may not live through the night. He did the only right thing by getting in the car and driving to see her.

16 – Die Tage 15 &amp; 16</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Happy Anniversary to us! Today we’re married for three years. A good day to report progress. And visible progress was made. On Monday evening we met with the plumber and the tile setter to discuss the design of the new bathroom. We’re thrilled to have it built to our taste. The downside is the hefty bill that is going to come with it but then again, the bathroom was in desperate need for an upgrade and for the next 20 years we won’t have to worry about it anymore.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Alles Gute zu unserem dritten Hochzeitstag. Was für ein Anlass um vom Aufschwung im Haus zu berichten. In den letzten Tagen gab es erhebliche Fortschritte im Haus. Am Montag Abend haben wir uns mit dem Klempner und dem Fliesenleger getroffen, um das Design des neuen Badezimmers zu besprechen. Wir freuen uns, dass es gänzlich nach unserem Geschmack (und Geldbeutel) gebaut wird. Leider wird das ganze dennoch eine heftige Rechnung nach sich ziehen. Auf der anderen Seite hatte das Badezimmer ein Upgrade wirklich dringend nötig und so müssen wir uns die nächsten 20 Jahre darüber keine Gedanken mehr machen.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The hubby removed the styrofoam walls on which were added to hold up the hideous tiles until we were left with the solid brick wall&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Der Lieblingsmann hat die Styroporwände abgerissen, auf denen die hässlichen Fliesen geklebt haben. Nun steht nur noch die nackte Ziegelwand&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S042_0JD8DI/AAAAAAAAANM/bNVsAjs3JGc/s1600-h/001%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="001" border="0" alt="001" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S043AVnyiPI/AAAAAAAAANQ/owU66xQAdLQ/001_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="292" height="484"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S043BL2ta0I/AAAAAAAAANU/8IgvziJuayw/s1600-h/002%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="002" border="0" alt="002" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S043ByMmiWI/AAAAAAAAANY/zSlhnT81MTw/002_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="292" height="484"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Today was another big step forward. The drywall workers came and while one exchanged the rooflight and helped the hubby with the living room ceiling, while another three workers started to put insulation in the roof in all of the upstairs rooms.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Heute gab es einen weiteren großen Schritt. Die Trockenbauer kamen und während einer das Dachfenster austauschte und dem Lieblingsmann mit der Rigipsdecke im Wohnzimmer half, begannen die anderen drei Trockenbauer damit, im gesamten Obergeschoß die Dämmwolle samt Dampfsperre ins Dach zu fummeln.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;The drywall ceiling in the living room&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;Die Rigipsdecke im Wohnzimmer&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S043CZfI17I/AAAAAAAAANc/eOvE42Ewj_o/s1600-h/IMAG0097%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMAG0097" border="0" alt="IMAG0097" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S043C39c01I/AAAAAAAAANg/sqW9Yl7aitk/IMAG0097_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" height="388"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;The new rooflight and insulation in the big guestbedroom/hobby room&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;Das neue Dachfenster und die Dämmung mit Dampfsperre im großen Gäste/Hobbyzimmer&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S043Dg9kdsI/AAAAAAAAANk/6vgz4LhcxGo/s1600-h/IMAG0098%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMAG0098" border="0" alt="IMAG0098" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S043EfyNOmI/AAAAAAAAANo/Ojmuiyy0UfU/IMAG0098_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" height="388"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; The insulation in the small guestroom&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;Die Isolierung im kleinen Gästezimmer&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S043FOeJrgI/AAAAAAAAANs/DCIJhidKDWw/s1600-h/IMAG0099%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMAG0099" border="0" alt="IMAG0099" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S043F9GPpZI/AAAAAAAAANw/UFrP4bd4Ggg/IMAG0099_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" height="388"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and the bathroom&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;und das Badezimmer&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S043GewXbKI/AAAAAAAAAN0/oEAsueuVkA4/s1600-h/IMAG0100%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="IMAG0100" border="0" alt="IMAG0100" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S043HFW1mfI/AAAAAAAAAN4/7mUfNNK6Iv8/IMAG0100_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" height="388"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Our apologies for the picture quality (or lack thereof).

As there was not too much visible progress over the last few days, we did not post anything on here though progress has been made.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The kitchen is now free from dust and clean enough to at least make some toast so as not to go hungry. The hubby acquired help from our good friend S. who accompanied him on one of the many, lengthy hardware store runs to buy dry wall, paint, brushes and a gazillion other things.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;On Saturday the guys went about tearing down the ceiling in the living room and the walls were spackled. The boys then proceeded with the substructure for the new dry wall ceiling, while I lost my marbles trying to put two coats of varnish on the radiator in the bedroom. Holy cow, that’s a job for murderers and rapists. There was only one coat of old varnish underneath, which is good but it had yellowed to a degree that was unbearable to the eye. Also Jack and Jill weren’t very careful when painting the walls as there were at least three or four different wall colors smeared on that freaking thing.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;More to follow.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Wow, das ist ja schon lang her. Aber da es keinen wahnsinnigen (sichtbaren) Fortschritt in den letzten Tagen gab, haben wir auch nichts weiter geblogged.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Gut, was ist passiert? Die Küche ist nun weitestgehend wieder staub-und dreckfrei. Es reicht um sich ungestört einen Toast zwischen die Kauleisten zu hauen. Der Lieblingsmann holte sich Hilfe in Form von unserem guten Freund S. der ihn auch zum Baumarkt begleitete, um Trockenbauplatten, Farbe, Bürsten und Pinsel und einen Million andere Sachen zu kaufen.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Am Freitag hat der Lieblingsmann die krumme Decke heruntergerissen und der Handwerker hat die Wände fertig verspachtelt. Am Samstag haben die Jungs mit der Unterkonstruktion für die neue Decke gekämpft und die Leitungen für 2 verschiedenen Lichtquellen mit verlegt. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Währenddessen bin ich beim Streichen des Röhren-Heizkörpers beinahe durchgedreht. Das ist eine Arbeit für Vergewaltiger oder jemanden der seine Mutter erschlagen hat. Pfui. Obwohl nur ein Anstrich auf dem Heizkörper an sich war, waren doch noch Farbflecken von Wandfarbe (in mindestens 3 verschiedenen Tönen) darauf. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Mehr in Bälde.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5709787837713741507-128539630169870385?l=homemakeoverforever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://homemakeoverforever.blogspot.com/feeds/128539630169870385/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5709787837713741507&amp;postID=128539630169870385&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5709787837713741507/posts/default/128539630169870385'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5709787837713741507/posts/default/128539630169870385'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://homemakeoverforever.blogspot.com/2010/01/days-13-14-die-tage-13-14.html' title='Days 13 &amp;amp;

The hubby and I went over there on day 11 to clean up a bit so that the workers can come in on Monday morning to level the floors.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This is what dining and living room are looking like right now.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;An Tag 1o hat der Lieblingsmann kurzfristig Hilfe von unserem Freund M. akquiriert, der auch prompt kam, um beim Boden abschleifen zu helfen. Der Lieblingsmann und ich sind an Tag 11 nochmal kurz ins Haus gegangen um aufzuräumen und die Böden zu fegen, damit die Handwerker am Montag mit dem Ausgleichen der Böden beginnen können.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;So sehen das Esszimmer und das Wohnzimmer z.

Though I did think it would be best to mask the entrance with as best as we could, I totally forgot about it when we were in the hardware store yesterday. So upon inspection today, the kitchen was covered in thick layers of residue glue and dust. Yummy.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Unglücklicherweise haben die Männer vergessen, dass zwischen der Küche und dem Ess- oder Wohnzimmer keine Tür ist. Obwohl wir uns vorgenommen hatten die Öffnung vor dem Fräsen des Klebers noch mit Abdeckfolie halbwegs staubdicht zu machen, hatten der Lieblingsmann und ich den Kopf bei unserem Baumarktbesuch scheinbar zu Hause gelassen. Nach der heutigen Inspektion fand ich die Küche unter einer dicken Staubschicht wieder. Hmm lecker.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S0DVlyIIigI/AAAAAAAAAL0/OoguKTJjmjc/s1600-h/017%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="017" border="0" alt="017" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S0DVmYva7cI/AAAAAAAAAL4/02RbzHOU1Ho/017_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="364" height="484"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You can’t even see the electronic touch controls or heating zones anymore.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Man kann nicht mal mehr die Berührungssensoren oder Herdplatten auf dem Ceranfeld erkennen.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The offending partition wall in the upstairs bathroom had to go. Thanks to everyone who voted in favor. Five people agreed that it had to go while nobody voted for the ugly thing to stay and so this is what the bathroom currently looks like.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Die das Auge beleidigende Trennwand im Badezimmer musste dran glauben. Danke an alle die “dafür” gestimmt haben. Fünf Leute stimmten dafür und kein einziger dagegen. So sieht das Badezimmer im derzeitigen Zustand aus.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S0DVnvkLjlI/AAAAAAAAAL8/EGuHIu7GEcM/s1600-h/034%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="034" border="0" alt="034" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S0DVoTCbKSI/AAAAAAAAAMA/3_YdMCbv5RM/034_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="364" height="484"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S0DVowfT7ZI/AAAAAAAAAME/TLD-9PhrKS4/s1600-h/035%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="035" border="0" alt="035" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S0DVplZNewI/AAAAAAAAAMI/uxekZPmhNbM/035_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" height="484"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The builder’s skip is pretty full too.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Der Baucontainer ist auch schon gut gefüllt.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S0DVqZT6J7I/AAAAAAAAAMM/OzN4t83sl6U/s1600-h/052%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="052" border="0" alt="052" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S0DVq_KAYfI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/lUSNF8esOvA/052_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="364" height="484"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;More to come soon!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Mehr in Bälde!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5709787837713741507-5719727158514519364?l=homemakeoverforever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://homemakeoverforever.blogspot.com/feeds/5719727158514519364/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5709787837713741507&amp;postID=5719727158514519364&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5709787837713741507/posts/default/5719727158514519364'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5709787837713741507/posts/default/5719727158514519364'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://homemakeoverforever.blogspot.com/2010/01/days-10-and-11-tag-10-und-11.html' title='Days 10 and 11 – Tag 10 und 11'/><author><name>The Wife</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12847082237158571421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/S0DVkBNwqXI/AAAAAAAAALo/-qMm5hGIxcY/s72-c/023_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709787837713741507.post-8611193388359511183</id><published>2010-01-01T21:23:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-01T21:23:01.612+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Day 9 – Der neunte Tag</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Happy New Year to you.

So he sets out to prepare the floors in the living room by sanding them down, so the workers can start to level them on Monday. The living room is almost done. What is left is the dining room. Same procedure. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;On Saturday we’ve got someone come in to finish spackling the walls before we’re off to finally decide on bathroom fixtures, tiles, etc.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;What else is new? The hubby managed to throw out the bathtub, shower and sinks with H’s help. Then they knocked almost all of the tiles off the walls. Now we got to figure out weather or not to keep the wall on the left to the door. Personally I don’t like it, I think it makes the bathroom look smaller and darker. On the up-side, the shower’s gonna cost less when we leave it like it is is. What do you reckon?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Und wieder war der Lieblingsmann allein im Haus. Der Kleber auf dem Boden im Wohnzimmer ist beinahe fertig abgefräst und nun bleibt noch das Esszimmer. Alles muss bis Montag fertig sein. Dann kommen die Handwerker, um auch hier die Böden auszugleichen.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Am Samstag werden die Rauhputzwände nochmal verspachtelt und wir gehen auf die Pirsch nach schönen aber günstigen Sanitärzeugs und Fliesen.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Was gibt es noch neues? Mit H’s Hilfe ist das Bad nun von Wanne, Dusche, Paneele, Waschbecken und Fliesen befreit. Bis auf das WC ist alles entkernt und es bleibt noch der Boden mit den auf die Fliesen geklebten Korkfliesen und wir müssen uns entscheiden, ob wir die Trennwand zwischen Tür und Dusche drinlassen oder rausreissen. Persönlich finde ich, dass die das Bad verkleinert und dunkler macht. Andererseits kostet dann die Dusche weniger. Probleme, Probleme.

After getting to the house, I found the guys chiseling away the fugly tiles in the entrance hall but they didn’t stop there. Most of the panels in the bathroom were gone and unbelievable things came to light.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Der Spass hört niemals auf und während die Frau auf Arbeit schuftet, hat sich der Lieblingsmann auf der Baustelle im Haus beinahe selbst übertroffen. Am siebten Tag hat er nicht geruht, sondern sich Hilfe bei unserem guten Freund &amp;amp; Nachbarn geholt. Als ich nach der Arbeit im Haus ankam, waren die Männer gerade dabei die potthässlichen Fliesen im Flur heraus zu stemmen. Aber das war nicht alles. Im Bad waren die hässlichen Paneele verschwunden und lustige Dinge kamen ans Tageslicht.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;Looky what have we here? A super fugly bathtub and cork tile floors and….rags??? How did those get here? &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;Wait for it…&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;Was haben wir denn hier? Eine superhässliche Badewanne, Korkfliesen und…Lumpen???&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;Warte….&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/SzvVUA0ELxI/AAAAAAAAAHs/JUWg_hWz13A/s1600-h/065%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="065" border="0" alt="065" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/SzvVU8Grx2I/AAAAAAAAAHw/PkDGsVcvJoU/065_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" height="484"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;Oh look, I can see through the wall into the guest bedroom &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;Oh shau mal, ich kann durch die Wand ins Gästezimmer sehen &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/SzvVVckVyQI/AAAAAAAAAH0/LjnqwEJ2-m4/s1600-h/062%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="Oh look I can see into the guest bedroom" border="0" alt="Oh look I can see into the guest bedroom" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/SzvVWEg-WzI/AAAAAAAAAH4/wxHkAfKzDcA/062_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" height="484"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;The ugly panels are gone - here next to the shower Die hässlichen Paneele sind verschwunden - hier neben der Dusche &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/SzvVWsG9KBI/AAAAAAAAAH8/BtotBftZFm0/s1600-h/067%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="In the shower - panels all gone" border="0" alt="In the shower - panels all gone" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/SzvVXQoPH0I/AAAAAAAAAIA/6JN9CnpxwSM/067_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="364" height="484"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;Are we having a party or why did you hang garlands? &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;Feiern wir eine Party oder warum hast Du Girlanden aufgehängt? &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/SzvVXxfgBEI/AAAAAAAAAIE/e8Sc2GabL0M/s1600-h/059%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="Rags?

&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;the hubby continued in the living and dining room.

By Sunday morning he was still in no condition to be schlepped to the house and work physically.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Luckily a little after one dear friends paid us a visit to bring salt and bread, an old tradition when moving into your own home. They wanted to see the house, so off we went. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After giving our friends the guided tour, the hubby donned his dungarees or “mole pants” as we’d like to refer to them. Because of this cute Czech children’s book. The book and the animated cartoon that accompanied me through my childhood and went by the title “How the Mole Got His Pants”. In which the mole finds a pair of blue dungarees…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; DISPLAY: block; FLOAT: none; MARGIN-LEFT: auto; BORDER-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-RIGHT: auto; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" title="Mole" border="0" alt="Mole" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/Sy9srBkbF1I/AAAAAAAAAEw/jSkoLPdbR9A/Mole_thumb%5B2%5D.png?imgmax=800" width="307" height="399" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mole pants?

The plan was to remove the old laminate floorboards in what will hopefully be our lovely bedroom soon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We guessed that it would take us about 30 min to an hour and we’d be done and return home where we’d light the fourth candle and be merry.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We couldn’t have been more wrong. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/Sy9ssrdcO2I/AAAAAAAAAE8/ntNgd5CFoG0/s1600-h/Laminat%5B6%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; DISPLAY: block; FLOAT: none; MARGIN-LEFT: auto; BORDER-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-RIGHT: auto; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" title="Laminat" border="0" alt="Laminat" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/Sy9stBzWXrI/AAAAAAAAAFA/Xj6OaP7oE2I/Laminat_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="326" height="439" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;h6 align="center"&gt;Here’s our friend happily starting to remove the floorboards.&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Jack and Jill had cleverly put two layers of footfall sound insulation underneath. Only one could be easily removed and so it happened that we saw us faced with the stubborn last layer, cork tiles, glued to the screed. Yipeeeh&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Now this being a Sunday in Germany, don’t expect any hardware store to be open. So the hubby got on the phone to the craftsman that was scheduled to level the upstairs floors in all rooms, who couldn’t believe what he heard. In fact he was so amazed that not 15 minutes later, the doorbell rang and the guy stood there in person, wanting to take a look at the mess. He provided us with a couple of power tools and about three hours later we had managed to pry the cork tiles off the floor and prepare it so that the guy can start working on Monday morning. Phew&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/Sy9stoTpWeI/AAAAAAAAAFE/6c1THJC5zb4/s1600-h/012%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; DISPLAY: block; FLOAT: none; MARGIN-LEFT: auto; BORDER-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-RIGHT: auto; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" title="012" border="0" alt="012" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/Sy9st1Pz0aI/AAAAAAAAAFI/N4t1FrProxI/012_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="328" height="467" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We were finally finished at around 5:30pm and went out for dinner. All of us barely able to lift our arms anymore. We’re blessed to have such great friends. A big THANK YOU to K+H who didn’t flee the scene and stayed to help us out, thereby ruining their sacred Sunday. Thanks guys. We owe you big time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nach 44 Stunden Arbeit an einem Critsit war der Lieblingsmann am Samstag Abend endlich wieder zu Hause. Am Sonntag Morgen war er dann auch dementsprechend geschafft und wir kamen erst aus dem Haus, als uns unsere lieben Freunde ein Einzugsgeschenk in Form von Brot &amp;amp; Salz überreichten. Natürlich war auch eine Führung durch’s Haus angesagt. Nach der Tour schmiss sich der Lieblingsmann in seine Maulwurfshosen. So genannt nach dem Tschechischen Kinderbuch und Zeichentrickfilm “Wie der Maulwurf zu seinen Hosen kam”, in welchem der Maulwurf eine blaue Latzhose findet…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Maulwurf in Hose – Lieblingsmann in Maulwurfshose (siehe Bild). Check.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unsere Freunde offerierten uns eine helfende Hand, die wir natürlich nicht ausgeschlagen haben und so machten sie sich an das Herausreißen des alten Laminats. Was darunter zum Vorschein kam trieb uns den Schweiß auf die Stirn. Jack und Jill hatten unter dem Laminat nicht eine, nein –sogar zwei ganze Lagen Trittschalldämmung. Letztere in Form von auf den Estrich geklebten Korkfliesen. Ein (Alb-)Traum wird wahr.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nun ja es war Sonntag und ein Adventsonntag dazu – also stand ein Baumarktbesuch außer Frage. Der Lieblingsmann fackelte nicht lange und rief den Fliesenleger an, der am Montag die Böden im oberen Stockwerk ausgleichen sollte. Der war so fasziniert, dass er keine 10 Minuten später persönlich vor der Tür stand, um sich Jack und Jills Unfug anzuschauen. Weitere 15 Minuten später stand er erneut vor der Tür, diesmal mit Borhammer und Riesenspachtel, mit deren Hilfe wir 3 Stunden später endlich den Mist vom Estrich gekratzt hatten.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;17:30 Uhr war es dann endlich soweit und wir konnten kaum noch unsere Arme heben. Wir haben Glück so liebenswerte Freunde zu haben, die sich ihren Adventsonntag ruiniert haben um uns auszuhelfen. K+H, wenn Ihr das lest, nochmals tausend DANK. Wir schulden Euch was.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5709787837713741507-3466737572612993534?l=homemakeoverforever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://homemakeoverforever.blogspot.com/feeds/3466737572612993534/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5709787837713741507&amp;postID=3466737572612993534&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5709787837713741507/posts/default/3466737572612993534'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5709787837713741507/posts/default/3466737572612993534'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://homemakeoverforever.blogspot.com/2009/12/day-2-nothing-like-surprise-to-makeruin.html' title='Day 2 – Nothing like a surprise to make/ruin your day'/><author><name>The Wife</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12847082237158571421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/Sy9srBkbF1I/AAAAAAAAAEw/jSkoLPdbR9A/s72-c/Mole_thumb%5B2%5D.png?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709787837713741507.post-5624870128957827241</id><published>2009-12-20T09:32:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-12-20T09:33:16.549+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Day 1 – The wife alone at work</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;After the hubby spent all week meeting with various craftsmen and discussing estimates and costs it just so happened that when it came to the weekend, he was called out while on duty. Bummer. This was supposed to be our first weekend together and lots of wood panelling and laminate were waiting to be removed on the upstairs floor. Alas it was not to be. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;So what’s a woman to do? Take matters in her own hands and so it happened that the wife started to demolish the first room by herself.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Nachdem der Lieblingsmann die ganze Woche mit Handwerkern verbracht hat um Optionen und Kostenvoranschläge zu diskutieren,&amp;nbsp; dachten wir, dass wir am Wochenende endlich damit anfangen könnten im oberen Stockwerk die Paneele und das alte Laminat herauszureißen. Leider war das ein Wochenende an dem der Lieblingsmann Dienst hatte und prompt rausgerufen wurde. C’est la vie.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Was macht die Frau folglich? Sie stellt sich der Arbeit allein und wer hätte gedacht, dass das Demolieren eines Zimmers so viel Spass machen würde?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Exhibit 1: The Chamber of Horror &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BEFORE:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/Sy3g-ulfMAI/AAAAAAAAAEI/ulYMLu382v4/s1600-h/CIMG2230_450x600%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="CIMG2230_450x600" border="0" alt="CIMG2230_450x600" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/Sy3g_eJXNRI/AAAAAAAAAEM/481rjCgjQPg/CIMG2230_450x600_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="288" height="338"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/Sy3g_6GVuWI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/uxgNJXCMhpI/s1600-h/CIMG2231_450x600%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="CIMG2231_450x600" border="0" alt="CIMG2231_450x600" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/Sy3hASZXxJI/AAAAAAAAAEU/VPchgQpe_0U/CIMG2231_450x600_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="289" height="389"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Mix n Match – oh the colors, I think I’m going blind.

Choices, choices. The living room has two huge windows leading to the porch and while they are pretty big, I am afraid that the room is not entirely bright due to the canopied porch. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I always pictured the laminate to be a warmer, darker color. Like walnut wood. We also quite liked the look of the cottonwood tree laminate, so we took these two as samples home. Last weekend the hubby and Serge came home with cherry wood and a darker maple, which looked lovely but hasn’t got that “warm feel” to it and reminds us of the light maple floors we have in our current place.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;It did however have the old wooden floorboard kind of look (and feel) to it. So now we’re really not sure.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/Sxzs_WZFT6I/AAAAAAAAADw/dVi_nR7-1Kc/s1600-h/CIMG2253_450x600%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="CIMG2253_450x600" border="0" alt="CIMG2253_450x600" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/Sxzs_4oju9I/AAAAAAAAAD0/Vv-Gnoqs-iY/CIMG2253_450x600_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="289" height="316"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/SxztAgJsgFI/AAAAAAAAAD4/PA_rOwOwjlE/s1600-h/CIMG2254_450x600%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="CIMG2254_450x600" border="0" alt="CIMG2254_450x600" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/SxztBByUuwI/AAAAAAAAAD8/M_hcSqemGWY/CIMG2254_450x600_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="285" height="354"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This is how Jack and Jill decorated the room. Hating the flooring, the colors, the wall structure but the room is really not that bad if you look beyond all the decorating mess.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Here are the four samples for the laminate, which one do you like best?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h6&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/SxztBlpnTpI/AAAAAAAAAEA/UAE5ACzUMm4/s1600-h/121%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="121" border="0" alt="121" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/SxztCHuWcZI/AAAAAAAAAEE/CFzKNDwCCgY/121_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="352" height="263"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; from left to right: walnut, cottonwood, cherry and maple&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/h6&gt; &lt;h6&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; links nach rechts: Nussbaum, Pappel, Kirsche und Kernahorn&lt;/h6&gt; &lt;p&gt;Es ist schwer sich vorzustellen, mit welchem Laminat wir unser 30m² großes Wohnzimmer auslegen sollen. Uns schwebte ein schöner, warmer, etwas dunkleres Laminat, a la Nussbaum, vor.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Da das Wohnzimmer aber trotz der beiden riesigen Terrassenfenster, aufgrund der überdachten Veranda, nicht das hellste ist, sind wir hier zögerlich. Der Lieblingsmann und der Adoptivbruder brachten von ihrem letzten Baumarktbesuch Proben von Kirsche und Kernahorn mit. Me likey beides…..Wer die Wahl hat, hat die Qual.

If Jack was the name of the previous owner we bought the house from, which it is not. Jack is the name we borrowed from the infamous nursery rhyme and in the name of privacy and all that is holy, we cleverly changed the names of those involved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, this is it. The house we saw for the first time earlier in the year. The house we loved because it was big enough, came with a basement and a big enough garden. The house that we thought we would never be able to afford.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jack and Jill* gave up the house after their divorce and left us with this little gem and a hunger to make this our home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lot of sweat, tears and hopefully no blood will have to be invested to make this into the house of our dreams and because we did not win the lottery and both of us are working full time, we will be able to make improvements bit by bit. This is our story and you are invited to follow us on our little adventure.&lt;br /&gt;-----------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dies ist das Haus, dass Jack gebaut hat. Wenn Jack der Name des bisherigen Eigentümers wäre, von dem wir das Haus gekauft haben. Jack ist der Name, den wir dem beliebten englischen Kinderreim entlehnt haben um die Privatsphäre der involvierten Personen zu wahren.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wie dem auch sei. Das ist es. Das Haus das wir Anfang des Jahres zum ersten Mal gesehen haben. Das Haus, in das wir uns sofort verliebten, weil es groß genug ist, weil es einen Keller hatte und weil der Garten größer als ein Handtuch war. Das Haus, von dem wir dachten, dass wir es uns nie würden leisten können.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jack and Jill * haben sich nach ihrer Scheidung entschieden das Häuschen zu verkaufen und unseren Ehrgeiz geweckt, dieses Schmuckstück zu unserem Zuhause zu machen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sicher, wir werden jede Menge Schweiß, Tränen (aber hoffentlich keinen Tropfen Blut) investieren müssen, um dieses Haus in unserer Traumhaus zu verwandeln. Und weil wir nicht im Lotto gewonnen haben und beide Vollzeit arbeiten, kann das ein wenig länger dauern. Dies ist unsere Geschichte – come along und begleite uns auf unseren Abenteuern.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;names changed for privacy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5709787837713741507-8495516962693131424?l=homemakeoverforever.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://homemakeoverforever.blogspot.com/feeds/8495516962693131424/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5709787837713741507&amp;postID=8495516962693131424&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5709787837713741507/posts/default/8495516962693131424'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5709787837713741507/posts/default/8495516962693131424'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://homemakeoverforever.blogspot.com/2009/12/this-is-it.html' title='This is it'/><author><name>The Wife</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12847082237158571421</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kFywzjYGjMk/SxeryY4wEgI/AAAAAAAAAAc/QCiC9drgyPE/s72-c/Frontansicht+Haus+verbessert.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
