Next week, when the window frames are actually replaced, there should be enough room to do the work. Therefor it was asked to clear out 1,5 meters from the windows (both in the living room, as in the bedroom). That doesn’t sound much, but you will surprised how much you have to move then. Specially in my case that also means my desk with my 2 computers, 3 monitors and all the other devices are involved. It was quite some work to get it all cleaned out.
For the living room the vertical blinds had to be removed. Something I was not looking forward to, but it turned out to be very easy. And when those are removed, you realize what things as blinds do for the atmosphere in your house. Also all the wiring (electric and TV/Network cables) had to be removed. This means that a part of my apartment is without electricity, but that is something that is not a real problem.
Most work in the bedroom was to remove my desk with all the computer stuff. Getting the curtains off was easy :-).
As already said, I had to move my computer desk. But no, I won’t sit around for a week without computer and internet. As many will know, throughout the week when Marion is abroad, we use Skype keep in touch. This is very important for both of us.
So I needed to move one of my computers to another place for this week. There was only option I could think of and that was the dinner table…
All this leaded to some new “hardware” as well. Until now I was always dependent from other, but from now I can do the drilling in the hard walls of my apartment myself. I had some good advises from Tom. He knows quite something about this kind of things.
All this moving of furniture and things was done last weekend. This is what called part 3 of this “operation”. But in the title of the article I also mention part 4…
Today the heating elements were removed so there is room to do the rest of the work that needs to be done.
Okay, up to the next part tomorrow (but to be honest, I cannot wait until all is done and my apartment is all neat and tidy again).
