Dipolog house and lot for sale
Moving In
Jasmin was determined to move in on the full moon, so we arrived at 0300 with a lorry following us. First problem was no keys to the house, but then I remembered that the door from the dirty Kitchen in to the living area did not have a lock. The electrics was working. Jasmin and her mother and friends did their religious bit. Our Bed had been delivered the day before so the next task was to move our possessions into the house. Putting the packing cases in the car port and suitcases and cardboard boxes in the Maids Room.
As dawn began to break the goat was slaughtered and we discovered the mains water supply valve so switched on the water in order to start cooking. We could see there was a lot of work to complete so when the workmen arrived at 0730 we had to start redirecting them to our priority jobs.
One task was to redesign the flimsy bar to make it more substantial in fact over the course of the first week we had to change out and fit dimmer switches on the lights, fit windows in master bedroom,stairway and toilets, together with fly screens. We also had to replace three wooden floor tiles which were not correctly laid. air con was also installed.
During the second week we engaged a Garden designer to start work on the garden and also to supply curtains and blinds. Finally the plastic guttering arrived and was installed, apart from the down pipes which the developer will supply. Overall we were frustrated in the way that no one job was ever completed, for example the cook top arrived and a hole was was made in the worktop, which took all day using a six inch nail as a chisel to chip concrete. I was then left to enlarge hole using my own chisel to in order to install retaining clips and connect everything up.
