Check lists and plaster

Yesterday was the first Saturday of many spent at the house. It was glorious, but also a bit frightening as 'We have a HOUSE' went more towards 'What have we DONE?'

Highlights:
1. The shed was full of useful things (the ladder was a definite bonus)
2. We managed to get the awful 'stained glass' sticker off the window in the lean-to

3. I found treasure under the carpet--I'm deluding myself that it's a diamond and we'll be able to use it to pay for gas central heating, but evidence suggests it's just pretty glass

4. We met another pair of neighbours who seemed very nice
5. Lukas trimmed some of the bushes in the yard and they look fantastic
6. We got a kettle (our first kettle!) and had our first cuppa in the lovely kitchen.

Lowlights:
1. Shed leaks and thus some of the useful things were prohibitively rusty
2. Tearing down the wood paneling seems to result in the tearing down of plaster as well (yikes!)

So, highlights: 6, lowlights: 2. We're still doing ok....
