It’s been a little while since I posted an update on Casa Pura, our humble house in the North of Italy. I just returned from a very short trip last weekend and the renovation is going quite well I can say.
Let me start where I left you: beginning of March. As I said back then, […]
As I posted earlier today, I am in Israel this week. I just returned to my hotel room about an hour ago when a text message arrived of a friend of mine that informed me of a break in in my apartment. Apparently a couple of burglars had broken in through a window. This was […]
In previous posts I documented the process of buying a house in Italy a little bit. In another post I described how we spent the weekend with -10 degrees after having gotten the keys to the house.
After we’ve been to the house in November, Pyke and me also went there in December again, together with […]
I live in the centre of Utrecht. I bought a place there a few years back. The apartment block has a parking garage underneath the house where I bought myself a place as well. Originally, the place cost €40.000 euro and there were 50 something places.
Because not all of the places were sold to the […]
Phew, finally this cupboard I had made by Wout is finished. I came home yesterday from Stockholm, where I had a great week (although the cold I had remained a little and made things a little less pleasant sometimes). I only got a very small glance of the cupboard, because I immediately took off again […]
Wout will ill yesterday, so he wasn’t able to finish the cupboard unfortunately. He did do the first paint though. Things will be finish by Monday hopefully. I’ll be in Stockholm then actually, so won’t be able to clean up the house before I get back next week. Actually by then, the cleaning lady will […]
Yesterday was the second day of the cupboard project. Things are going quite well and hopefully tomorrow, the cupboard will almost done. I guess by then, the only thing left to do will be a bunch of painting. This is what the whole thing looks like right now:
Wout solved the problem with the power socket […]
After Wout got his materials yesterday and we talked the whole thing throuhg, he went on to put together a large part of the frame for the cupboard that will finally keep all my books and other stuff. I had drawn the cupboard myself and it was pretty well-done, other than the fact that it […]
Ik heb eindelijk eens de tijd genomen om een boekenkast in elkaar te designen. In mijn woonkamer is het op twee plaatsen altijd een beetje een rommeltje: op m’n bureau (maar goed, dat is m’n werkplek en ik handhaaf thuis nou eenmaal geen clean-desk-policy) en in een ander hoekje van m’n kamer, waar al mijn […]
I was in Luxembourg last week, where I learnt about Lëtzebuergesch and visited a client. I had my hotel in Remiche, a small village about 20 to 30 minutes from Plateau Kirchberg, where the client was. This meant I had to drive back and forth every day to the office. I got a good (and […]
