Enkele weken geleden hadden we een afspraak gemaakt met een bouwbedrijf om onze kleine zolderruimte te vergoten, een nieuw dakraam te plaatsen en lagere plafonds in twee slaapkamers te maken. Afspraken over wat gedaan zou worden en een prijs werden gemaakt. We zouden nog nader bericht krijgen wanneer het werk zou beginnen. Nou, dat zat in het vat.
A few weeks ago we had made an appointment with a construction company to rebuild our small attic space, to place a new roof window and to lower the ceilings in two bedrooms. Agreements concerning what would become done and a price were made. Later we would be told when the work would start.

Yesterday evening around 20.30 hrs. the telephone rang.... It was the assignee of the construction company. Polite he asked if they could come tomorrow morning (that was today) because another appointment was cancelled or scheduled to another day. Well, that was, however, unexpected and yes, it surprised us in the first place,. One and other had be done to make the floors as free as possible. Two bedrooms had to be emptied for a large part to create space for the carpenters.

We have dismantled the beds and placed in my hobby room. Cupboards and other loose things had be obtained for a large part from each other and covered with old sheets and blankets. And everything in my room! It is in complete disorder. But soon, when everything is done, then we have gained considerable more space and the bedrooms are no longer this way high. Keeping clean the ceiling becomes now also much easier and that helps now we are getting a little older and become more rigid in the muscles. Of course, I climb no longer that easy on staircases and ladders and neither can my wife.

This morning at 07.45 the doorbel rang, I opened the door and there stood two men who came to clear the job. In no time preparations were made, a large radio and tools were brought into the house. And then they started immediately with the necessary demolition activities. The detritus were collected and immediately brought outside where it was thrown in a followers carrier.

I don't know exactly how long it took to demolish everything. Of course, I did not want to look at those men's hands. However, I looked from time to time just for making a photo, it seemed to me nice to record these planned, but unexpected irruption something to tell. With all that breaking and removing things, our mysteries, however, were exposed, dust nests and such things, but I did not have the impression that these people had eye for that. They got used to it.

Meanwhile we were halfway the afternoon and gradually we saw the work progressing. Flooring beams have been laid and now can be started with the constructing of the attic floor. I hear the rattling of stone drills, an electric saw machine and hammering, however, everything comes in order, but tonight I still have to sleep on the floor on my matras, because it never succeeds in 1 day.
Het dakraam is wel heel erg aan vernieuwing toe en het zal een opluchting zijn als deze ingrepen achter de rug zijn. Vandaag lukt het plaatsen van het nieuwe dakraam nog niet, maar dat zal morgen wel gaan gebeuren.
The roof window needs very renewal and it is a relief when these interventions are behind us. Placing the new roof window today will not yet succeed, but that will happen tomorrow. Sure it will...
Voor vandaag zit het er op en de mannen hebben beloofd morgen terug te komen om het karwei af te maken.
For today the work has been done and the men have promised to return tomorrow to finish the job.
