After several years considering, I finally decided to invest in an air conditioner or heat pump as we call it here. Its main purpose is heating and of course cooling if needed (unfortunately, not too often). I installed the gears myself and saved 500 euro. Hehee, Bob the Builder is my second name :)

 

I just returned from Bauhaus (a hardware store). Last time when I was looking for the mousetrap, I noticed that they had pretty wide selection of tiles and other repair stuff. I felt in love with granite tiles! Today I went back there, made some plans and tried to figure out how much it would cost to build a toilet using those granite tiles and what kind of other materials there are. Found that sink-table-combination etc. Lucky me, the toilet in the downstairs is very small and I may have enough money to make this dream come true.

This is what happens when you give the little finger to the devil! (Beware!)

It's finished! Today my bed moved back to the sleeping room. Everything is ready, only some carpets are missing. Maybe some painting could hang on the wall but that's a tricky choice because the big flower painting is so dominant. Let's see what kind of dreams I will see in the newly decorated room - hopefully not nightmares! That's how it looks like now... 

Keskeneräistä ei pitäisi esitellä, mutta ehkä tämä joskus valmistuukin... 

Valokuvatorstai

The progress of the repair is slowly moving ahead. I have painted the ceiling twice and today I painted upper part of the walls green. I've had difficulties when choosing the colours but I think I found the right options. The sleeping room will become green. I'll set the flower painting there and I took some colours from the painting. The next task is to fix some panel to the lower section of the walls. I will paint the panel too. Redecoration if fun but takes a lot of time.

I have stared those wallpapers long enough - it's time to let new winds blow in the house...

By the way, I was looking for new wallpapers in a store. The salesperson asked me if she could help me.

me.........Sure! I'm looking for new wallpapers...
she.........Can you decide yourself what kind of wall papers you are looking for?
me.........Err - I think so (what the hell that question was supposed to mean?)
she.........Okay, here we have some new colours and patterns...
me.........Ok... (how old should you be without asking your mom?)
she.........How about this?
me.........Maybe not patterns, just simple one coloured cause I have some paintings...
she.........How about two different colours?
me.........Umph, maybe (should I call my mom?)
she, me, she, me, she, me...

After about half an hour I walked out without new wallpapers. I didn't find the right colour and who would buy anything from a salesperson who obviously thought that I need a WOMAN to decide what kind of new wallpapers I'll put on MY walls!

In fact I will use such wallpaper that's to be painted. I can easily change the colour in the future if some woman moves in the house...

edit. I painted the sleeping room's ceiling today. I can't see any difference because it was painted white already earlier. Hmm, I believed it had changed it's colour during all these years at least a bit but no. Well, the only joy is that I know it's repainted.

The next job is to sand the floor. It's made of oak parquet. After sanding I'll varnish the floor. I haven't done it before so lets hope I will not ruin the parquet...
