ELECTRICIAN AND GARAGE???

 

I did not get around to doing anything in the garage/sewing area yesterday.  The day just flew by!

Lacy is coming over this morning to help me again.

Top of the list is to try and get the garage/sewing area sorted out.  I anticipate that taking us HOURS.

After lunch we are expecting the electrician to return to get on with their list.  There's still quite a lot for them to do, so I don't think they will get it all finished today.

ABOVE:  Apart from waiting for the new lounge suite, this room is DONE.

You might notice the rug is gone?  It had curly up corners and I tripped over it three times in one day.  The third trip resulted in me falling over and landing on a damn box.  That hurt.  So the rug is gone.  At some point I will get another one, one that isn't going to trip me up, or walk across the room on it's own.

One last thing for now... last time I stood on the scales I had gained 10 kilos... that was over the past 9 months.  I finally bit the bullet and stood on them again. 

I lost 4 kilos.

Without even trying.   Clearly all the hard work in the past couple of weeks has burnt it off.

I don't want to be THAT busy again, in order to lose weight.  Maybe now that things are settling down a bit, I should actually start eating healthier.

8 am, just been up the road, met a nice young man from Raglan who has bought our trailer.  Yaaa, I don't think I have anything else to put on Marketplace now.   

And then she laughed and laughed... cos she found something else to sell.

Stew had a brilliant idea last night.  If we got 'rid' of the two cupboards in the garage, we would have room at the end of the garage to put up my big trestle table, for working on.  

I immediately took everything out of said cupboards and put it in the spare bedroom for now.

It will all fit in the new cupboard in the bathroom, once it's renovated and built.

ABOVE:  Lacy has taken the single door cupboard, and this one just sold on Marketplace.  Gosh what a great thing Marketplace is.  No selling fees like Trade Me.  And so much faster too.

ABOVE: Going through boxes, and I found the little pony tail that was Keera's first big haircut, back when she was about 4.  I gave it to Lacy.

Lacy and I slogged it out from about 8 am till 11.30, and got everything unboxed and put away.

ABOVE:  The LAST BOX!

ABOVE:  Various garage views.  There's two aisles... I know I will have to go through the fabric and sewing boxes again, but for now they are in place.

ABOVE: Bex and Lily came over to grab a few things... wool and storage things.  At one point I said to Bex "Where is Lily?"  And we hunted and couldn't find her in any obvious place.  I was starting to worry, thinking she'd managed to get outside somehow.

Then Bex found her.

Hiding behind the mirror in my bedroom.

Little madam thought she was the bees knees behind there!

ABOVE:  She was thrilled to bits to be behind there, lots of little giggles.  Seems she 'hides' all the time at her home.

It is now bang on midday, and I'm taking a lunch break, before the electricians arrive.

ABOVE:  Electricians were here for most of the afternoon. They installed more of the lights and...

ABOVE: The new Samsung Induction Cooktop.

ABOVE: And the Samsung Oven, which we bought a few months ago for this house.  They will have to come back at least one more time to put in the rangehood, the dining room light and do the electrical work for the hot water cylinder.

I'm very happy with what got done today.

While the electricians were here I went out and bought a new cutting mat, sewing scissors and rotary cutter blades.  Dropped off a small box to the Op Shop, and did some banking.

I am now waiting for a bloke to turn up to collect the double door cabinet I advertised on Market Place.

6.15 pm and that is now picked up and out of my garage.  

I can actually SWING A CAT in there... admittedly in small circles, but still.

And now... I'm done for the day.  Catch ya tomorrow.
