Well today has been massive in our house.
We (by that I mean Mark and the boys) moved all of the furniture out of the lounge room so that we can turn it into Marissa and Joel's room until their new rooms are built.
Thankfully the bookcase had already been taken out by my eBay buyer, but they had to move out the lounge and entertainment unit.
Thank goodness Mark is good at puzzles because he had to use all of his skills to work out how to get it all out. After breaking the light in the hall it was decided to take it down completely before they finished moving out the furniture. The entertainment unit was a great cause for concern and it looked like it would be stuck in there forever until we were rescued by our GREAT friends Micheal and Mitchell who helped get it out the door in seconds. We were really fortunate that they were able to drop everything and come down to help or it would probably still be stuck in the doorway. All of the furniture is now safely in storage until we need it again.
I am also pleased to say that my boys worked really well as a team and considering the enormous job there was very little yelling at each other. Probably the biggest achievement as far as I am concerned. In hindsight I should have videoed them, it would have been extremely entertaining viewing!!
The television is now installed in the dining room and the lounge room has two desks and a cupboard full of clothes. Tomorrow it will also have two beds in it.
It feels like we are camping, which for a family that doesn't camp is a big achievement. It is a bonus having air conditioning in this cold weather though.
Tomorrow when everything is finished being moved I will take some photos so that you can see the completed rooms.
