Whats The Point - July 2007

As you have probably read from Freds Posting (Fred Blogs) we have arrived and the huge task of renovating our house is under way. Upstairs isnt too bad we have carpet and sky has arrived ( priorities!!!!) you would think the children had never seen television before, but im sure 24/7 cartoons will soon lose their attraction ! I have set up my office on the landing at the top of the stairs,as you can see from the photo the view is beautiful and a definate improvement on the back of someone elses house! (I might even get something done when i stop gawking at the boats going by) Next week we are getting some new windows for me to take in the view from!
After a 3 weeks we have now got hot running water,flushing Loo and a Shower installed upstairs,theres been a lot of strops i can tell you and its been wetter inside the house than out!! but its now nearly complete with tiling almost finished and vinyl on order.Very nice too and very civilised of us!!!
The Kitchen is stil a mess but at least it no longer has a bath and toilet included.We still have lots of boxes stacked in the kitchen and lounge, no idea whats in them, Yes,I know, numbering boxes and listing contents is a good idea but a bit too organised for me, more a Fred thing (surprised he didnt really ;-),organised chaos is more my style ! .Which makes me think if we dont know whats in them do we really need the stuff? we are managing quite well without whatever treasures they hold, although I wouldnt mind a finding the Wine glasses (its not the same out of a tumbler) and a few other bits and bobs.Anyway I cant be bothered to look as you can be sure whatever you are looking for is in the last box.
Anyway i'm off to shut the door as the Dog has taken to sitting outside all day and it getting a wee bit chilly!!
