Oh so sleepy

Today was the first Sunday I've owned a house. Well, sort of owned a house. Owed a bank a sum that could buy a house.

Good day, but utterly exhausting. Lubo came over and gave us advice on what he would recommend we should do. Several times, I believe the words 'Wow, this is a big project!' were uttered. However, he also admitted we had enthusiasm and the house has potential. And does it ever (I love you, house!). Anyway, he confirmed Lukas's suspicion that the plastering in the living room seemed fundamentally unsound (yikes!). On the positive side of things, he convinced us that exposed floor boards, when done correctly, are not necessarily drafty (fill the gaps!). So, perhaps we've found an avenue to save money.

Big pluses today were:
1. Major demolition of unsound plaster in living room; and
2. Peeling of wallpaper in hallway that was both satisfying and revealed that the plaster underneath is fundamentally sound. Huray!

I'm absolutely starving, by the way, even after having eaten a whole pizza.
