Operation FixHouse initiated!

The furniture is in a container on a boat somewhere in the Atlantic and while waiting for it to arrive to Sweden we have started to fix the house.

Silvia has huge plans for the kitchen; we are talking about removing walls, tiles, cabinets, closing an entrance and basically giving it a complete make-over.

However, being an experienced house renovator (that was a joke, people!) I say we do first things first and that means painting the ceilings, painting or putting wallpaper on the walls in all rooms. This has proven to be a challenge already...

After an hour trying to remove the lamp from the ceiling I gave up. It won. The previous owners must have used glue or something because there are no screws to unscrew!!!

Some Operation FixHouse-crew members taking a well-deserved rest.

Daddy´s little helper. I told her "We need to protect the floor from paintdrops so you need to cover the floor with paper and fixate with some tape". And she followed my instructions very thoroughly!

We did not buy a house, we bought a Swiss cheese! In this room there were over thirty (30!) holes to fill!
