Balustrades

We spent about two months walking up the stairs with no balustrades. It was quite dangerous, but I liked the look. A few days before I had a house-warming party the balustrades were installed, luckily! I didn't like the look of them to start with because I was so used to having none, but I have grown accustomed to them now and I quite like them. The man who installed them had to pull up the carpet a bit at the top of the stairs, so I had to get the carpet men to come back to put it all back. Tommy, the cat from next door and I had some fun on the stairs yesterday (photo coming soon).

I had lots of old furniture and junk in the garage and I have gradually been getting rid of it. We had a bulk rubbish collection a coupe of weeks after I moved in and was able to get rid of quite a few things. Then a couple of weeks before Easter I rang the Good Samaritans (a local charity) and they collected a dressing table and chest of drawers. All I have to get rid of now is two fridges. One man is interested in one of them. I look forward to having an tidy garage!
