"The stressful period is behind me for now."

'That' is good news. And you deserve it. A lot's gone on the past few months.

I'm headed into stress myself. I just found out there's water damage to the sub floors along the entire south wall of the house I'm selling. I'm now waiting on repair quotes, for the floor and the roof. I may have the chop the price at the knees and do an as is sale.

What really sucks in my case, is this is the actual work I do, but I haven't been able to since my ankle injury. The irony of me paying thousands in labor costs that I would normally be getting paid for is not lost on me :sn-36:

Last Wednesday was the final inspection of the old apartment. It was supposed to be on Monday, but the caretaker found some flaws in the painting (a friend of a neighbor had done the painting). Luckily, my sister was able to fix these flaws, for which I am very grateful to her.

As far as my work is concerned, things are looking good. I was able to get everything done by today's deadline, even though I had very little time after my (moving) vacation. Of course, this meant some overtime, but that was to be expected. The stressful period is behind me for now. On Thursday next week is the Christmas party at the office, which I'm really looking forward to.

Congrats on moving to a new flat! Hope you get more undisturbed rest and sleep in your new surroundings! Airfryers are good for most foods, I use mine for most kinds of meat and vegetablesπŸ˜€ it really saves some work and time when cooking a meal, love it

Thank you for asking. The move took place this Monday and everything went smoothly. They even managed to reassemble the wardrobe, as I had my doubts that it would survive another move (we had had difficulties reassembling it last time).

My internet worked right away. As for television, I have to consider whether to sign a contract with the internet provider, as I rarely watch television (I mainly watch videos on YouTube).

Now that the furniture is in place, the acoustics are better, but the noise level remains the same. For example, I can hear my neighbour chatting animatedly with his visitors (in this case, I turn on white noise to mask the noise).

The heating pipes in the basement occasionally cause a regular knocking sound that can be heard in my flat. My sister said that the pipes need to be vented.

It will probably take a while before I settle in. At the moment, it's pure chaos. The boxes are scattered all over the flat and the new kitchen is half assembled. The new stove will be delivered on 6 December. When everything is in place, I have to let the landlord know so that he can send someone to connect the washing machine, stove and sink. Until then, I'm doing my laundry at my sister's, washing the dishes in the bathroom sink and heating up my food in the microwave, among other things. Today, my sister and brother-in-law brought over their old hot air fryer, as they now have a bigger one (my sister has also acquired a taste for it so the smaller one was no longer sufficient).

I hope the move is going well.

I just wanted to wish everyone in the US a happy Thanksgiving. An American tribute to gluttony and football (American football obviously)

Don't forget to include Alexander Simpson in your thanks. The London tailor who is the unsung hero of the holiday for inventing the stretch waistband in 1934 :sn-30:

I was going to recommend a revival of hanging tapestries in the bedroom... Nice, thick, woolen, sound absorbing tapestries... But modern sound proofing could work as well ;-) Best of luck on the move Selene. Fingers crossed

Best of luck to you and your moving to a new appartment Selene! I found a youtube video about soundprofing a room, here is the link in case it might help https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=h_oIgdWjqmE

The move will take place on 24 November. Unfortunately, the new flat also has thin walls, which I only noticed after the viewing (the neighbour above me was not at home at the time). I hope the acoustics will be better once all the furniture is in. I've already looked into soundproofing options and came across this article.
