We are getting there with the bedrooms now. The little bedroom is almost finished it just needs a blind putting up at the window.
This room is a nice little chill out space with the opportunity to sleep a couple of guests if needs be.
The main guest bedroom is also now finished and our master bedroom is finished.
Sydney loves the bed settee. I think he has claimed it as his own.
We have been struggling with a difficult erection today. A large wardrobe for the master bedroom. Six hours of our lives that we will never get back!
Sydney had a nice surprise yesterday. The landscapers came round to lay our turf. So we went out and left them too it.
We went for a lovely walk along the Chesterfield Canal from Shireoaks to The Woodhouse Inn for a couple of drinks and then walked back to the car.
When we got home the dust bowl we had left of a garden was now lush and green. Sydney loved it.
Unfortunately we now have to keep him off it for a couple of weeks to let it establish. Mother nature seems to be giving us a helping hand as it looks set to rain for the next few days which will be ideal for the grass to settle in and saves us having to water it morning and evening.
We have had another busy day of unpacking boxes and starting to turn a house into a home. We have got the first room finished which is the second bedroom and it looks just right.
Tomorrow we are tackling the third smaller bedroom which is currently housing some boxes and shelves. We figured if we get the shelves on the walls we can then unpack the boxes and the room will then look more acceptable. The sofa bed that is going in there arrives next week so we should have that room finished as well shortly.
The next big job is going to be assembling our new wardrobe in the master bedroom. That we are not looking forward too!
We are now all in our new home. The move yesterday went as smoothly as the rest of the process did. By 9am our belongings were in the back of a van and driving away.
We got the keys at midday and started the unpacking process. By 1pm the van was unloaded and we were starting to reassemble the important furniture. The bed, the dining table, the TV etc.
We had a brilliant first night watching films as loud as we like with a few beers.
Sydney loves his new house and has already settled in nicely.
Today we have been and had a big shop to restock the cupboards and fridge and we are now putting together a few more bits and pieces and unpacking yet more boxes. It is feeling and looking more like a home now.
It is a shame the garden isn't finished yet. It is being turfed next week when the rain starts!
Yesterday was a year to the day that we picked up Sydney and he became part of our family. Things have changed a lot for the little dog over the past 12 months but he has transformed into a lovely friendly little dog and more importantly he is now a fit and healthy little dog.
It was a last tidy up in the garden today. We have repotted most of the house plants into decent pots we have rescued from the garden.
We are running out of jobs to do now.
