No pictures this time though. I’m sitting on the bus from Knarvik to Bergen writing this because this is the only slot of time where I’ve had time to do anything like this for almost a week.
I’ve had multiple deliveries of documentation at work, and that can really stretch your creative muscles for a while. On the moving part; we have now finally moved, we have slept in the new apartment for two nights even though the bed hasn’t been assembled yet.

We did most of the moving last Saturday. Big thanks to all the people that helped with the move. Some stuff where left over for sunday though. Sunday was the day for assembling the kitchen before the plumber got here monday morning. We just got barely enough of the kitchen furniture assembled before midnight sunday.
The plumber(s) oddly enough (being contractors and all) was ready at 07:29 Monday morning, one minute before they was supposed to And for those who want to know who these eager plumbers where, they where from Gården Rørleggerservice. The same plumber-company that mounted the dishwasher in the old apartment. That also right on time

The electrician we hired was also right on time, and though he did a mistake while assembling the sockets in the kitchen, he also fixed the problem right away.

To sum things up. The kitchen almost looks like a kitchen, and we’re able to prepare food there. Theres still a lot to do. We got hot water in the shower (the heater had broke when we stopped the water a few weeks ago). The livingroom is still full of boxes, though somewhat fewer than on saturday. We sleep on a matress on the livingroom floor. And its 8 days to christmas eve. To top things up, the company I’m working for are moving thursday evening.

So, no updates this Sunday either. Thats not because it hasn’t been an eventfull weekend, more on that later. Maybe its good to have one blog-free day each week?

Here’s a new update on the progress of our not-exactly-60-minute-makeover. Do you notice any difference on the pictures from the Kitchen in the last two picture updates and this one?

Despite being so tired all I could think of when going home from work was a warm shower and going back to bed, we actually got the kitchen ready for the first layer of paint. I put fiberglass wallpaper on the walls in the kitchen, and Katla painted the borders in the hallway bright white. By the way, fiberglass is some sharp, itching stuff.

After fighting quite a bit with the gallery feature of WordPress, here’s finally some more pictures of the progress… Please, please, please let there be a way to rotate pictures in WP 2.7.

We got the floor leveled, the hall is almost ready, it just lacks borderpaint around the floor. Actually, we did not want to paint them, but there has been spilled so much paint onto them, that we need to do that now. We have also prepared the walls in the kitchen for the new wallpaper.
