Life at No 71
Life remains busy, but I’m making steady progress toward getting the bungalow and garden just how I want it. I'm now waiting for quotes and/or dates to get the additional electrical work, plastering, and fireplace completed in the living room. Once all that work is done I can get the room decorated and have a new carpet fitted. New curtains will have to wait for a while so the existing blinds and curtains will stay in place until I can afford to replace them. Once the room is decorated and the furniture is back in place, I can unpack all the books, ornaments, and pictures ... this is the room I spend most of my time in and I can't wait to get it finished and feeling like home again. I'll be ordering the cupboards for my study next week. I've chosen the same as I had in my previous home - IKEA Billy bookcases with doors - as they worked well before and will fit nicely in the space available in the room. Once they have been assembled and fixed to the wall I can unpack all...
