Day one, Friday:
- Kimi gets the keys to the castle (blogged).
- The previous owners get a Malawian guy, Stanley, to clean. Well, the place is so filthy that he was only able to take off the top layer really.
- Bomb out the house with bug killer
- 'Sleep' in the granny flat - jumping at any sounds as we are paranoid that someone will break into the house.
Saturday:
- We wake up to the most awesome view from the granny flat.
- We check out how huge the attic really is
- Family comes over to clean a little and assess immediate needs.
- Kimi cleans the terrible dirt on the inside of the French doors and the bedroom cupboard
- Rob rips out the disgusting bedroom carpet. There is a whole load of dirt that came out of the carpet after it was vacuumed once already! Yuck!
Sunday:
- Sandra and Kimi cleaning while Rob and Les hang two double security gates (presents from Kimi's Momma and Daddoo).
Monday:
- Kimi has class.
- Kimi and Rob fetch an angry yowling Church, unhappy to be leaving her Vredehoek home.
Tuesday:
- Rob has the whole day off, Kimi has a half day
- Boxes arrive. Where is the blender?
- Good idea - only numbering the boxes and keeping a key of contents. Bad idea: losing that key months down the line!
- Rob sets up the dining room table
- The gorgeous new fridge arrives
Wednesday:
- Brunch at La Cuccina around the corner.
- Washing machine arrives
- Unpacking and sorting
- More cleaning
Thursday:
- Kimi has class
- Rob and Kimi have dinner on paper plates as they still do not know where the crockery (and cutlery) is
