I love it when a plan comes together...
At last the house is looking house-like! There are wardrobes, a nearly functioning kitchen and a fireplace that I swear I'm going to sit and gaze at so happy be I over it!
Months of madness are coming to a close (uh oh, how do I explain my madness now! LOL) and the excitement level is off the charts. It's a bit of a strange experience...the outside is still pretty worn and dated looking (70's building at it's best) but step inside and it's a bit of a time warp!
All the frustration, insanity, and, dare I say it, the cash (renovating is like lighting money on fire as it turns out - disappears that fast) are now proving to be worth it. I LOVE it. I'm like a giddy kid, every time I see the place. Another week and it'll be ready to live in and another week after that, well, living in it will I be!
The best thing about it though has little to do with appearances; it's about the fact that I will now be within walking distance of a couple of childhood friends and my little brother - I really should stop with the little, he's late 20's and starting to resent it! It's about that quick cuppa and a chat after dinner, or the stroll to the local for a cold one without worrying about getting taxis or where I'll be staying.
Finally, finally - I'm going home. :)

Sounds good, specially the "giddy" bit. Welcome home. :)
