Dear So and So

[lph]

The rest of the house looks like a unit on Storage Wars, piled with everything.

Oh yeah.

I only just this minute got a call from IKEA, who will be delivering our new kitchen stuff ASAP. But they weren't supposed to come for another hour, so I had to run around and find rugs for them to trample in on. And doing anything at this point involves shifting piles of other stuff. So finding a rug involved pulling it out from under the stove (as we've been using it to pull the stove around between uses), which involved moving the coffee percolator and water boiler which were balanced on top of the stove, which was pretty impossible because there was nowhere else to put them as the dining table is also our functioning kitchen counter and is half covered with assorted small stuff. Which may have something to do with the fact that dh gave away that set of drawers...

And lugging a packet of new flooring out of the way so that it doesn't get boxed in by 3 tonnes of IKEA-ware, I neatly managed to put in a huge scratch in the livingroom parquet flooring. Yippee.

And so it goes, indeed.

I'm actually so early on in the process that I'm looking forward to it, but I'm pretty sure that three weeks from now when we feel that we should have been done and still have siding to put up and drawer handles to attach and so on and so on that I will be wondering what possessed us to ever start.

eta: I didn't mean siding, I meant trim. Don't really know the proper terms in English.
