I'm learning more about windows, bricks, plumbing, flooring, etc. than I care to.
We hired an architect, an interior designer and a general contractor, but I am that person who wants to be sure I understand what is being done and why to the "T" before it is done.
It must be done, but I hate it. House renovation/beautification projects suck.
Oh year, FWP2 - this city girl is moving to a house in the suburbs. With desperate housewives-type streets and minivans. Minivans!!!!

Now, he was one who only drank about 3 cups a day. The rest of us were constantly refilling our cups throughout the day.
We were all hyperactive by 9 am that day. The boss kept some Grappa in the ice compartment of the fridge and broke that open to try and counter the effect. I don't think we did much constructive that day, but all slept like logs that night.

Make sure it's the Swiss-ID one, so they can charge your bank-account in case you slept through your destination train-station.  | | The following 2 users would like to thank curley for this useful post: | | |
