Primarily Tanya, but also myself, has seen a need for an apartment renovation and the last four weeks this idea has been put into practice. Tanya’s father has been here to help but at the moment the workforce consists of Tanya and myself.
The first phase includes the bathroom, kitchen, corridor and the small bedroom. All rooms are still work in progress but the major work has been done. After stripping all rooms plus corridor down to the concrete, tiles for floor (except for the small bedroom) and walls in bathroom and partly in kitchen have been mounted. A bath tube, WC, and new water tap has been installed in the bathroom. It is mainly wallpaper, painting, and IKEA furniture assembly work left. There is no extreme hurry now that we soon (some more days needed) will have bathtub capabilities. The winter garden is acting as temporarily kitchen and our old kitchen furniture, including kitchen and freezer, is still operating from its new location.
There was no WC in the bathroom earlier, but now that it has been restored in the bathroom (there used to be one earlier in the bathroom but it was removed by the previous owner), it will be easier to renovate the small bathroom, which previously hosted the only WC in the apartment, later.
Next week, probably on Wednesday, we’ll go to Sweden for dad’s 60 year celebrations. I have seen that there are some decent flight tickets on offer but we’ll go by car this time. Then we can easily take Freja with us and transport some remains from my stuff in my previous apartment in Gothenburg. If there are no major issues, one day of driving should be sufficient since we are going to meet up in Malmö.
