Work in progress

Ok, it seems I was running ahead of myself when I said we could start straightening out the walls and start tiling. Silly me! Of course all the pipes and drains and electricity has to be done before you start tiling. So that's what Guillaume and his father have been working on the last couple of days. They just keep on working in a steady pace. They are my heroes!


Guillaume also made a new seperate electricity line and water supply to the attic and installed the washing machine and dryer there. This way we have more room in the bathroom (that's where it used to be before).

All the demolition is finished now. Yesterday my brothers-in-law, Maurice and Lucien, came to help. They loaded all the rubble on a trailer so we could take it to a dump site. It's amazing how much stuff will come out of a bathroom demolition!

D-Day

Guillaume and my father-in-law started renovating our bathroom. Today was Demolition Day. I got a sneak preview of what Guillaume will look like when he's old and grey, haha! Everything went quicker than expected so tomorrow they can start smoothing out the walls and tiling.

Christmas market in Düsseldorf

Yesterday we went to Düsseldorf, Germany which is famous for its Christmas market. There are little stands in every street. I thought I could get some Christmas decorating items but the Germans seem to have the most interest in food. There were only a handful of stands which sold decorating items, the rest was only food and drinks; Pretzels, Glühwein, Bratwurst, Candy Apples, Egg Nog. So I'm a little dissappointed that we drove all the way to Düsseldorf to get some Glühwein but we had a good time anyway :)

Gavin DeGraw - part 2

A while ago I went to Gavin DeGraw's concert in Amsterdam. It was such a great experience.
Here's some pics.


And here's a short film to give you an impression of the concert.
