It's taken just 11 weeks to get this...........................from this ....its all pretty impressive

I've just had a chat with the decorators who have been working all weekend!.
I called in at 6pm today....(sunday) and the friendly English speaker said he and his mates would probably finish at 8pm and go and get a shower and bit of shut eye before returning tomorrow to start again (around dawn). I usually catch them as I go by for the dog walk!

This finish inside is simply perfect. It really cannot be faulted!!!!!

The black post and beams are now all painted with special Huf paint, which leaves the white panels to be covered with this special Huf white self coloured plaster. Everything is special Huf specified materials ....Remember even the extension leads that they all use are coloured special Huf green and are stamped with the special Huf logo!!!!

So I raced back to the gaf that we are renting and promptly threw away half the paintings and posters we have....they is no way that we can spoil the look of these perfect white plastered walls with the wide variety of mirrors/coloured prints/paintings...it just wouldn't be right!!!!
In fact I have some real doubts about using any of the furniture we have inside this now perfect environment. I think it should be left clean and empty, perhaps with a single orchid placed strategically in the lounge..........but no, lets fill it up with all our boxes full of trivia and battered furniture that we have collected over the years and make it home!!!!!!

The one thing that is quite worrying is that there is really no storage anywhere....well you can have it if you really want, StilArt, which is a subsudiary of Huf Haus, will provide you with anything you need, hand crafted, expertly constructed, and exactly to your specification. Trouble is its quite expensive.

So we will be moving in on the 15th March with the minimum of storage to place the 127 boxes of crap that were generated from the move from our last house. I have a good idea of where its all going to go.......in the garage which is big enough for a few reasonably sized motors. This should be the place where my TR6 should be residing, but I can guess that it will be standing out in the weather again until all these boxes have been emptied and the contents taken to the tip.

Efforts to try and reduce the amount of rubbish being transported to the new house have been miserably inadequate. I have discarded at least 6 CD's from my collection and thrown away endless tapes (with no titles on) whereas the collection of furry animals that my dear wife has collected over the years remains completely intact. Is there no equality in this world? I have explained it might be more economic to rid ourselves of this pile of junk BEFORE we pay someone to move us.............but no, it looks as if its all coming with us!!!!!

Andy and the ground work team return on Thursday to complete sewer connections and drainage and to think about the large pieces of sandstone to be placed against the house....
