Happy new year to 'all' my readers. Hope all your plans will turn out great this year!

As for our plans... we still do not have a toilet downstairs but we're getting pretty close now. The ceiling is done, the joints of both the walls and floor (including hall and pantry) are done (what a mess that makes!), Matthijs has started finishing up the corners where walls or wall and floor meet with kit. Next thing on the list is finishing those corners, hanging up the fountain and toilet, putting back the (freshly painted) radiator in the hallway and give the doorstep a new color. When that's all done the toilet/hallway project is finally finished. We broke out the old stuff at the end of September last year...

Then we move on to the heating system of the house. We want to have control over every single room, instead of having to turn on the whole system and thus heat rooms that do not need heating. The only thermostat we have now is in the livingroom downstairs, but we spent most time in the workroom on the first floor. This project will take approximately half an hour per radiator.

We still have a stray bookcase in the living room that needs sawing in half and repositioning. We still don't have skirting downstairs. The attic needs to be cleared out some time soon for the dormers to be placed. So still enough te be done. As we Dutch people say: Omdat je huis nooit af is!

Oh, and we spent our old year's eve dancing in Zeist. Was lots of fun and sure as hell beats couch sitting. ;-)
