Now I'm really buzzing....the house is beginning to look huge (and I thought it looked big before!!) The carpets are all down, all the tilings is finished and the solid wooden floor is complete! If you didn't already realise I really love my house!!! Or should that be "haus"!!!
The carpet man arrived from Germany on Monday evening (these Huf people do everything). Is first words were Hello...where are the carpets???? Oops!! These super efficeient Germans had made a mistake!! They had forgot to the deliver carpets!! So we had a carpet fitter on a 3 day schedule with no carpet to fit!! Luckily the wooden floor were sat here waiting and he could get cracked on with that!! Anyway after a few frantic calls (from the carpet fitter) the carpets were driven over from Germany and Mr Carpet man could get back on schedule!
What amazed me though was 1...he finished on time (he did say though that time is money!!)...2....the long hours he worked (until it went dark, we past at 9pm and he was still there) and 3....that he did it all on his own!! The huf way of carpeting is also quite different to the uk way. All the carpets and the wooden floors are glued to the floor. This is so there is absolutely no movement with furniture. As the carpets are getting laid, a rather heavy metal roller is rolled over to ensure perfect smoothiness and no air bubbles! Very nifty indeed!!
So now all the carpets are down! Mr Carpet Man ( I don't know is name) has gone back to Germany and now we await the final team who will put the skirtings on and do all the finishing of jobs! Our kitchen arrives Wednesday afternoon so once the house has been officially handed over to us, they can start fiiting that. Thanks to the guys at siematic, the kitchen is arriving earlier than the informed delivery date so hopefully we will be moving in ahead of schedule!! Happy days for me!!!
