Keep calm no matter what


I have not much left over for how builders think. If they even do that.

It is now Wednesday week 21, you that are following our blog know that the house is arriving week 23. We still have not got a foundation. And i don't think you need to be a builder to understand that something is not really adding up. I have been on the phone trying to find out what is going on, and all of sudden we get a mail with additional costs. (??)
And they then have the nerve to take 150 kr more / t gravel.

We were out on the land moday night, it is so lovely out there, green and quiet. You do not want to leave.

It is fun though how much building a house affects you in the way you read papers and watch tv. There is always a nice sofa, a better bath or something else you just have to find out what cost or where to buy.

I do hope my posts in the future will be about happy things or at least something nice.

Soon we'll see water :) no sight of foundation :(


Today I booked the guy that will make water appear. Week 21 he will start and finish.


The thing that at the moment is starting to make me more and more irritated is that we still have no news about foundation. I have got it confirmed that the house still will arrive in week 23, but when will the foundation be done? It is just 24 (!) days to week 23.


Now it is the end of week 19. Is it aloud to be as stressed as i am right now.


What we can be glad about and enjoy is the lovely sunshine we have. It is so nice and it makes it hard to sit inside all day long working.
Hope it will be as nice this weekend, maybe a trip to the land :)

Finally some information

I become a bit irritated, open my mail at work today and wrote an email with a few carefully chosen words, not too angry just to say how we think things are going.

Two minutes later it says pling and i got an answer : ) Monday he is meeting the foundation people at the land.
Why was it so hard to send a mail eralier and say that?
I might be a bit over the top with the fact i want to be informed about things, i want to know what happens. I do not in the end want to stand there and get: i was not informed, thrown in my face together with a invoice for work that has gone wrong.

I have to say, i am not the biggest football fan (the man of the house is) but i must say the Chelsea-Liverpool game wednesday was a great entertainment for a Valborgcelebration :)
