Rug delivery.

Hall Rug
Dining Room Rug
Living Room Rug
The cleaning lady :-)
We had to be at the new flat by 10AM to wait for delivery of our rugs. We figured we might as well do a little cleaning while we were there so we took the necessary things and while Joan did the floors, I did the dusting and window washing. Delivery arrived at 10:30AM. We unwrapped the rugs, laid them down in place and then, again, went over where the furniture would go. We left about noon, on our way to Ikea when Joan started thinking about how high the dining room table was and if the chairs would be a good fit.
Of course, we didn't measure that before so we had to return home, get the tape measure, go back to the flat and measure. With that knowledge we headed to Ikea. We selected what we wanted, went to the warhouse part of the store, pulled all of the pieces together except for the two recliners which were not in stock. Some of these things were very heavy and I feel sorry for the delivery men who will come tomorrow with it all. Not only because of the weight of the objects but because they have to carry them up four flights of stairs. I hope they are big men! They are due between 10AM-2PM so by tomorrow night we will have all the new furniture except for the recliner chairs.


Musieli艣my by膰 w nowym mieszkaniu przez 10AM by czeka膰 na dostaw臋 naszych pled贸w. Wyobrazili艣my, 偶e mogliby艣my r贸wnie偶 zrobi膰 troch臋 czyszczenia podczas gdy byli艣my tam tak wzi臋li艣my konieczne rzeczy i podczas gdy Joan zrobi艂a pod艂ogi, zrobi艂em kurzenie i okno myj膮ce si臋. Dostawa przyby艂a o 10:30AM. Rozwin臋li艣my pledy, od艂o偶yli艣my ich na miejscu i wtedy, znowu, przeszli艣my gdzie meble posz艂yby.

Wyruszyli艣my o po艂udniu, na naszym sposobie do Ikea kiedy Joan zacz臋艂a my艣lenie o jak wysoko st贸艂 jadalni by艂 i je偶eli krzes艂a by艂yby rzecz dobrze pasuj膮ca.
Oczywi艣cie, nie mierzyli艣my, 偶e przedtem tak musieli艣my wr贸ci膰 do domu, dosta膰 ta艣m臋 miernicz膮, wr贸ci膰 do mieszkania i miary. Z tamt膮 wiedz膮 poszli艣my do Ikea. Wybrali艣my co chcieli艣my, poszli艣my do cz臋艣ci magazynu sklepu, ci膮gn臋li艣my wszystkie z kawa艂k贸w razem poza dwoma uk艂adaj膮cymi, kt贸re nie by艂y na sk艂adzie. Kilka z tych rzeczy by艂y bardzo ci臋偶kie i wsp贸艂czuj臋 ludziom dostawy, kt贸rzy przyjd膮 jutro z tym wszystkim. Nie tylko z powodu wagi przedmiot贸w ale poniewa偶 oni musz膮 nosi膰 im w g贸rze cztery klatki schodowe. Mam nadziej臋, 偶e oni s膮 du偶ymi lud藕mi! Oni s膮 nale偶ni mi臋dzy 10AM 2PM tak obok jutro w nocy b臋dziemy mie膰 wszystkie nowe meble poza krzes艂ami uk艂adaj膮cego.
