I've just put together the small bookshelf I bought for the lounge room, now I just need to summon the energy to do the bedside tables and I'll be done with flatpacks. Tomorrow I'll be taking the polystyrene to the recycling centre and finalising the stuff at my old house. Then I'll be able to fully focus on the unpacking and sorting here.
Is there much more left to do?
Still far too many boxes to unpack, unfortunately. I'm hoping I have enough of the funiture assembled and positioned now that I can focus on the actual unpacking and sorting.
I moved at least a month before you and I have only just finished unpacking/fixing things up.
Still need to buy a few more rugs and a coat rack. Then the house is all set.
So you are doing really well. ๐๐๐
Thanks for the encouragement. It doesn't help that life doesn't stop until you finish, you still have to go to work and cook and clean and mow the lawn which takes up lots of time too. I'm also giving myself a bit of leeway as I had a week off work with a cold, but it feels like it's taking forever, even if in reality it's not been that long.
