We’ve managed to fill our skip in just over a week. Luckily, it was quite easy to get a new one. It’s quite a feat for the driver to deliver and collect the skips as, not only is the driveway pretty narrow, it’s at an angle to
When I was removing the partition in the upstairs landing, it looked like underneath the laminate there were traces of the original wooden floor. If this was true then it would mean we wouldn’t need to worry about new flooring first floor. But we’d need to take up
Meine Eltern, die nach dem Tod meines Opas in das Haus am Sengelsweg eingezogen sind, hatten sich eine Kellerbar eingerichtet. Die Bar ist immer noch vorhanden.

While the toilet for midgets is still there, everything is gone and the shower the only source of water in the house. I don’t think the shower was used very much, not really surprising considering the room isn’t heated. If things go well, it’ll be a significant
In the evening, when the professionals have gone home, the B Team takes over. That’s Astrid, Petra André and Bine. It’s great to have some friends who know what they’re doing and are happy to help. Thank you so much!
