Some patience required
Finally, after over half a year of waiting, and stressing the vendor to finally complete our order, the final pieces of our table have been delivered! With over 6 months of looking at white inserts in our table, they are today replaced for the official slabs of lay we originally purchased. Below is the final result, and for those who’ve

You’ve probably heard it from others, migrating from an ISP to another or new subscribers on a blank line tend to go horribly wrong. Missed deadlines, defective modems, weird connection issues, finger-pointing among the ISP and line-supplier, etc. The horror-stories are well-known and occur too often. Not for me though, I’ve had the most fluent installation possible. Scenario: new (blank)

It being the first day of the new month always lets me reflect the previous month. A lot of stuff has happened in July, of which not all was good. At this very moment though, the guy from the supplier is installing our lavabo and the previously mentioned accessories and he’s due to be done in a few hours. I’m

After a quiet period, the unexpected has happened: our lavabo has been delivered to our supplier! TheY gave me a call a few minutes ago asking whether they could deliver it sometime this afternoon. Yeah right, ‘some time’. It should be between 16:30 and 16:45, or else would it not be delivered before Friday afternoon. Out goes all flexibility… I’ll

After working frantically on the house to get it ‘livable’, we’ve decided to take it a little easier during weekdays. No more DIY’ing after work, just dedicated weekend-DIY. That’ll be good for our sleep at night, as we have more time on our hands to do other things, like watching television, cleaning up and looking after our bunnies & holiday

Something had to go wrong after our streak of good luck over the past few weeks. All the colors worked out great, virtually no hidden faults, we didn’t break anything major in the house and there was no leaking going on even when the rain was pouring down. Yesterday, the first batch of furniture was due to be delivered, and

And there they are, the pictures of the state the bathroom is in right now. 😉 As a few bits & pieces are still backordered (lavabo, accessories, etc) so the guys have to come back in a couple of weeks to finish it off.

Even though I promised to take some pictures of the finishied bathroom, I didn’t get around to do so. Instead, I really promise to do so tonight, and will leave you with the backposting of some pics of the bathroom while it’s being worked on. ÂÂ

Yesterday, the workmen have finished the bathroom as far as they could. We’re really happy with the way the room has turned out even though it’s not finished yet! Due to the fact that some things have been ordered but could not be delivered in time, a few bits and pieces were not installed, and the workmen have to come
