About my remodelling, I have spent the past week basically shopping for material. It really is exhausting. It�s all coming together though, today I bought everything necessary for the bathroom.
The most frustrating part of today was choosing the parquet floor. The warehouse either doesn�t have enough stock of the wood that I liked or can�t order the same wood.
The �Varbed� who�s looking after the remodelling was shocked when I told him that I wanted to leave entrance to my bedroom open (that is no door). So he gives me an example to convince me to add a door and the example he uses is as follows: what if you have guests in the house and your husband wants to sleep? My reply was that my husband, in that situation would not sleep but join the guests!!!!
The �Varbed� is also arguing the fact that my guests absolutely cannot enter the bathroom from the lounge room. Instead one should enter the bathroom through a hallway. What�s the difference I ask since I would know regardless that the guest is using the bathroom?
Does my �Varbed� realize I will be the one living in my flat? I believe we are starting to understand each other slowly but surely.
The above was written yesterday but not posted, so I�ll keep going. This morning I went to Ani Hotel to see a friend of mine who works there. I ran into Caroline Cox and Artemis , an Australian Armenian living in Karabagh. Caroline Cox was on her way to meet the president and I had a brief conversation with Artemis but will definitely keep in touch.
Later in the morning I visited other local friends who reiterated the fact that it�s inconceivable to enter the bathroom from the lounge room. Whatever! Anyway, after all the frustration I experienced yesterday, the parquet floor worked out in the end and was ordered today.
The afternoon was spent checking prices for windows. Very expensive indeed so I�ll have to think about this one!
