We got the keys to our house 2 weeks ago and have yet to move in. Decided to do most of the work first and then move. Below is a list of what we're doing:
1) Electrical inspection and then sorting out electrics.
2) Decorating (removing the woodchip from almost everywhere, painting, plastering, doors etc etc)
3) Change bathrooms
4) Sorting out a temporary kitchen to use
5) Change carpets and lay floors
6) Double glaze windows
7) Change locks and move in !
I wish it was as simple as that. There are many other little numbers in between the 6 above and unforeseen obstacles. Plus the extra work we hope to have done.
Have been warned by many about the stress of moving house. So far, its not so much the stress but the kind of boring sorting of mundane (to me) issues about a house.
The fun bit of decorating rooms will come in later when we move in. Looking forward to posting before and after pictures because of the state of the house.
