Reply To: [unofficial weekender] Fallout going all in

so … day 2 of my attempt at doing 1:1 scale terrain aka : getting my house ready for me 🙂

I managed to get a proper light installed in my future bedroom and placed the wall socket covers back.
This is when I discoverd that the ceiling is plasterboard, which deserves its own special place in hell.

Hardest part was guiding the flippin’ solid core wires into the light fixture and then screwing said light fixture to the ceiling.
Did I mention the plasterboard thing ? I first attempted to use the screws on their own, but that didn’t work. Then I simply shoved the plugs into the hole I had made and tried again. And it worked … kind of.

I had planned to visit the DIY store to get things to start painting, but as I had overslept that was not to be.

I also managed to sort of fix the ladder to the loft, because the two chains that kept the hole closed had broken.
It doesn’t close perfectly, but at least it sort of closes now.

So … while bits were frustrating, it also felt good to do something productive even if it did take longer than I wanted it to.
Discovering the tiny hole in the plasterboard did make me think second thoughts for a while, because these tiny flaws are adding up. OTOH … fixing the flaws kind of feels good too (when I’m done fixing it).

Tomorrow (sunday) I will continue fixing bits and also do some shopping to get the things I need/want.
Still not sure if I am ready to spend a first night at my new home, because there’s grocery shopping to do too before I can do that. I will however ride my bike to my new home, because I need to learn the route and do some basic bike maintenance anyway.

Trying to do a bit of planning for the layout of my rooms is also on the agenda.

btw : did you know that there are other hobbies that have their own ideal hobby layout ?
The sewing, crafting hobbyists are one step ahead of us … but then they’d have to be as 99% of their hobby is crafting 😉
Google for “sewing room ideas”. Loads of ideas to *eh* copy.
