New Staircase

As we have finished moving, the next step is to rip out the old staircase and getting the new one in. so, for the next day or so we were getting up and down via the ladder. Luckily the guys who installed the staircase as well as all the doors finished within a day. I was pretty much impressed and very happy not to use the ladder anymore.

I could not believe what a difference it made, having installed the new staircase. I was over the moon., it looked fantastic. We were basically up to the last part that still had to arrive, the piece in the middle of the door. before going on holidays, 10 days to go! I hope it arrives in time.

We're Moving

Finally, the day has come, we're moving out of our 60 square meter apartment into our own house which we have rebuilt, restored and renovated over the past 6 months. And once we've moved in, we're then heading Down Under to enjoy our well-deserved 4 weeks’ vacation.

Off we go from Oranienburg to Germendorf which is a suburb of Oranienburg. We've organised a couple of people including mostly family and friends who gave us a hand in wrapping and packing up the stuff, lifting the heavy boxes and furniture.

We have moved everything by late afternoon and started straight away placing everything in its spot as well as filling up cupboards and furniture. In between we had a BBQ. Before the day was gone, we were almost done.

Exhausted but very happy we spent the first night in our own house had a good nicght sleep before the weekend was coming to a end. One detail, the staircase we left for the day we moved in. However, just one day living in the house we ripped out the old staircase and waited for the brand new one to arrive and be installed. Meanwhile we got up and down via a ladder - scary.
