Living Room - Update

It's looking good! But nemo is absolutely knackered and he feels it's just the beginning of a very long journey. JFET predicted a year till it gets completed. Let's just say the home stretch is still far beyond reach. Although it's taking a bit of time to redo the entire house, I must admit that we are gaining grounds and the living room is looking particularly fresh, don't you think? However, I'm not too fond of the lamp. It's tacky but it'll have to do for now.

Moving in

I started moving in some of our stuff this morning and put it in the upstairs bedroom for now. And Nikka Home finished sealing off the kitchen exterior.

The ever so handy Vitz

Or commonly sold as Toyota Yaris in the UK. It's compact and so easy to use. We used it to go to and fro Okazaki City Central Clean Centre. We've made a record fourth trip today and it's been exhausting. To make matter worse, nemo's big right toe was injured coz one of the stupid logs fell on it whilst he was chucking them away. Anyway, it's been a productive day - the electrician finished off the sockets, the plumber fitted the Washlet (ウォシュレット = Woshuretto) and the builders fitted the cupboards by the passage and bedroom.

Knackered?

Physically tired but mentally not. nemo is eager to get the job done. He's got only 3 weeks left. Also today, the builders put up the wallpaper in the kitchen. And tomorrow, they'll fix part of the exterior. Plus, the electrician will fit the sockets in the kitchen. がんばります！

Our new "System Kitchen" is here!

Abracadabra! Your wish is my command as the genie would say it. And just like magic, there it is. But we must extend our gratitude and say a big big thank you to Toto Kitchen. They've done a really good job. They're so professional. No wonder, J-peeps use this company often. Anyway, also today, we added more coats on the bathroom doors and skirting boards. And tomorrow, the gasman is gonna check the stove heater and the replacement loo is coming. Yippee! It's all becoming clear.

Wax on, wax off...

Actually, we haven't put the wax yet but it looks immaculate already thanks to s's hard work. We painted the kitchen door and touched up the ceiling and walls. The builders delivered some cardboard and tape coz our new "System Kitchen" is coming tomorrow. Hurrah!

Brainstorming

It's always nice to have more than one idea. Coz you simply never know what you'll encounter once you start doing something. So that is why s's took a few books out from Toyota City Library to have a more creative input to the house. I must say, it's stimulating our brain cells. And nemo bought a new saw blade.
