We did not have to renovate that new appartment either, or at least that was the plan.
The reality was that renovations were not even halfway finished; meaning that we moved into a construction area.
I don't want to go too much into detail because thinking about it still makes me angry, but i don't want those negative vibes here on my blog.
So let me just say that we had to live with the builders and painters for more than two weeks.
There was dirt absolutely everywhere; it was horrible. Wallpaper scraps, dust, paint, every possible dirt on this planet was in our appartment.
We could not cook because there was no kitchen to cook in. Most of our food expired and we had to throw it away because we could not cook. We could not wash our laundry because there was no finished water connection. We used the washing machine as our "kitchen table" instead.
Thank goodness i was smart enough to pack my uniform into a large handbag, seperately from the other clothes, otherwise i would have had a serious problem.
We played Tetris with our furniture, moving boxes and the renovator's supplies every day. We moved items from one room to another, from the left corner to the right corner, stacked them from top to bottom and back to top. It was almost impossible to find the things we needed and it really stressed us. But it was also funny, somehow, and we constantly whistled the Tetris music, haha.
We're still doing it whenever we rearrange items, it's like a running gag.
Let's take a look at the desaster. The photos are in random order. I still can't believe we actually moved in and lived in that mess, but what else could we do?
We should have claimed compensation but at least we refused to pay the rent for that period of time.
The photos are in random order and i will show the single rooms in Part II.
This is what our "living" situation looked like:
Our "bed":
