I now have my lovely new sofabed...despite having to move 600 books, to get it in! It also meant disposing of the manky shabitat side board the previous weekend! It took all day, the lighting circuit decided to go phut in the middle of it all, thus knocking out the router and the bedside lamps, but it is all worth it. I have a really comfortable bed, the black leather sofa is comfy and long enough to stretch out on, and my lovely velvet cushions what Katexxxxxx made for me are glowing gently against it. I also stand to get the nice dark mahogany officers pattern bureau, from the burnt out cousin, which will swallow lots of crapola and provide a writing surface and lots of dinky little compartments for stationery and pooter bits and bobs. It also has a top on which to display Mama's lovely art deco French not actually bronze, and possibly Granny's fruit bowl.
Now to tackle the cellar, a bit like a smaller edition of Kate's loft, get a new rug for the sitting room and think about getting the bathroom sorted out...and possibly a new washing machine, my old whirlpool is 20 and a bit! Also discovered that extending my lease, including legal fees is going to cost about 5 grand but that is probably worth it in increasing the value of the property.
I thought yours was a share in the freehold... Still, if five grand spent by you now gives it a long enough lease that it improves the value by more than that, then yes, well worth the dosh.
I'm glad you new bed is comfy. Did they get the old one out in one chunk, or was it hacked to death in situ and marched out piecemeal?
