At close quarters

Mar 17, 2010 | Life at Home, Work | 17 comments

Well, after 10 years I have FINALLY taken the plunge and going ahead with the much-dreaded (and way overdue) renovation of our office.

The Shit Hole is getting a face lift at last 😀

It all starts tomorrow with the new laminated wood floor being laid. Then the place gets painted, new lights get fitted, floating shelves get put up and wooden blinds get hung. And then *drumroll* … the MOST exciting part … a brand new server HURRAH!

Obviously, everyone’s had to clear out of there and move into my house for the week that this is going to take. Yeah, so we’re snuggled up nice ‘n close in here … all 8 of us, heh.

    Well, the new floor’s down and the primer is on the walls. Tomorrow the painting gets done and all the wiring and plugs get neatened up.

    Oh, and the window that *cough* fell off gets put back too heh.

    It’s looking good 🙂

    I can’t wait either! Although the shelving and the blinds won’t be done by then – we have to wait a couple of weeks for those.

    @Dad … this is ok, it’s only a week and it doesn’t really disrupt things too much. Not like when I had my house fixed up 2 years ago … THAT was a nightmare! Sleeping in the lounge for months on end, workers buzzing all over the place for ages. Yuk.

    Doing what you are doing right now is my worst nightmare!! I would just freak out at the disorder. I would have gone away for a week and only come back when order was restored.

    I can’t wait to see the finished result!

    Lol, I was hiding behind that thing praying that you’d take the shot! 😀

    I can’t wait to see what it looks like next week!!!
