Preparation
February 10th 2008 07:42
To those who’ve picked up on my post about the renovations we’ve been doing, which has caused me to be a bit less visible on this blog than usual, I’m happy to announce that all carpet in the house that needs to be uplifted has been uplifted. Only one room still has some goo on the floor that we need to clean up. Otherwise everything is ready for the new carpet to go down.
What a relief. Even though two rooms are completely empty at the moment and all their furniture and fittings are scattered around other rooms and in places where they wouldn’t normally be, it feels as though we might make it through to the finishing post.
I had my doubts a week or so ago, when I was just about ready to give up on it all. Of course, you can’t actually do that. Once you’ve committed yourself to having carpet laid, you’ve got to get on and do all the preparatory work. Nevertheless, even in spite of that it felt as though we wouldn’t get it all sorted – or perhaps more importantly, we wouldn’t have the energy to finish the task.
It’s all very well people saying that those in their sixties are now only middle-aged. At times like this we definitely feel like old people!

At least we didn't have to prepare this large a room!
