Let’s get ready to rumble!

The first few days

The unmistakable smell of old people was stuck in the rooms as Alfred and I picked up the keys on 1st May 2014.

Luckily the weather was good, so we could leave the dauting task of refurbishing the flat for now, and take a stroll in the naturally kept garden.

The first few days have been spent removing parts of the kitchen and starting the mammoth task of removing old wall paper. The joyish feeling of removing large pieces of wallpaper, is often abruptly replaced by the insane frustration of wallpaper desparately clinging onto the plaster.

Still in the early days, we are filled with positive energy. Having been through this exercise before, the question is how long we’ll be able to maintain it. We look forward to having the builders start, hopefully this coming week.
