About 'round beds ikea'|Ikea haul a.k.a. Project Perfect Set-Up Round 1








Those               of               you               who               have               been               following               my               story               of               our               family               emergency               in               the               last               week               will               know               that               this               resulted               in               my               fiancee's               daughter               and               her               husband,               six               month               old               baby               and               two               dogs               moving               into               our               small               home,               which               we               only               moved               into               four               months               ago,               and               which               we               are               still               working               on.

If               you               would               like               to               read               the               full               story,               and               I               hope               you               will,               as               it               provides               the               background               to               this               continuation,               you               can               find               the               first               part               here,               and               the               follow               up               here.

The               follow               up               to               our               change               of               plans               left               us               Saturday               evening,               with               the               loft               floor               laid,               the               boxes               and               other               contents               of               the               spare               bedroom               mostly               moved               up               to               the               loft,               and               all               of               us               exhausted               from               the               effort.

My               knees               were               hurting               a               lot               every               time               that               I               knelt               down,               and               I               had               to               do               a               lot               of               kneeling               in               the               loft,               and               my               back               was               stiff               from               all               the               crouching               too,               but               surprisingly               the               next               morning               and               since,               my               knees               have               not               hurt.

More               often               than               not               when               I               have               been               kneeling               for               long               spells,               I               have               trouble               walking.

This               is               not               something               new,               I               have               had               it               since               I               was               about               12               years               old,               but               maybe               as               I               am               getting               older               it's               getting               better.

That               would               be               a               good               thing!
               Having               got               the               spare               bedroom               cleared               so               that               our               visitors               had               somewhere               other               than               the               living               room               floor               to               sleep               on,               my               next               task               was               to               work               on               the               bathroom.

Our               house,               like               most               older               houses               in               England,               only               has               one               bathroom.

This               one               is               downstairs               in               the               hallway               close               to               the               front               door,               which               is               not               the               best               of               locations,               and               it's               barely               big               enough               to               fit               a               bathtub,               toilet               and               washbasin               into,               plus               a               radiator.

It's               so               narrow               in               fact,               that               when               sitting               on               the               toilet               (and               I               won't               get               too               graphic),               your               right               leg               is               touching               the               side               of               the               bath,               and               your               left               the               radiator.

When               the               radiator               is               hot               you               have               to               be               really               careful               not               to               burn               yourself.
               The               problem               with               the               bathroom,               other               than               the               size,               is               that               there               is               no               towel               rail,               and               insufficient               space               to               put               toiletries               etc.

We               had               been               hanging               our               towels               on               hooks               on               the               back               of               the               door,               but               they               did               not               dry               well               there.

We               had               also               been               hanging               one               over               the               radiator,               but               it               didn't               stay               on               very               well,               didn't               dry               well,               and               also               stopped               the               heat               from               getting               out               into               the               room,               and               like               most               people,               we               don't               like               to               shower               in               a               cold               bathroom               -               let               alone               use               the               toilet!

There               is               not               even               a               toilet               roll               holder               in               there.
               Like               the               bedroom               and               the               loft,               we               had               decided               to               put               off               fixing               these               up               until               after               the               wedding,               but               with               our               new               situation               decided               to               bring               the               date               forward,               since               we               now               have               four               adults               and               a               baby               using               the               bathroom.

It               was               with               this               in               mind               that               we               decided               to               go               to               Ikea               on               Sunday               morning,               having               previously               seen               a               towel               rail               that               we               liked               in               there,               but               it               had               been               out               of               stock.
               If               you               are               familiar               with               the               Swedish               furniture               store               Ikea,               you               either               love               it               or               hate               it.

They               have               them               in               many               countries               in               Europe               including               the               UK,               and               also               now               in               the               USA.

The               stores               are               huge,               and               ours               is               no               exception,               with               three               floors               full               of               just               about               every               furniture               item               and               fixing               you               can               imagine,               and               then               some.

The               stores               are               laid               out               so               that               you               are               led               on               a               path               around               each               floor,               rather               like               a               theme               park,               and               if               you               stop               and               look               at               everything               you               could               easily               be               there               three               or               four               hours.

But               I               digress...
               The               store               opened               at               10:30am               with               it               being               Sunday,               and               we               got               in               there               just               before               11am.

The               car               park               was               already               queuing               up               to               the               main               road,               and               as               we               approached               the               ticket               barrier,               the               right               of               the               two               lanes               looked               like               it               had               been               coned               off,               and               everyone               was               using               the               left               hand               one.

Yes               you               have               to               pay               to               park               at               a               lot               of               shops               in               the               UK,               disgusting               isn't               it,               but               if               you               spend               more               than               £20               at               Ikea,               you               at               least               get               free               parking.

The               driver               of               the               car               in               front               of               us               pressed               the               button               to               dispense               the               ticket,               then               promptly               dropped               the               ticket,               as               you               sometimes               do.

It               took               him               a               minute               to               pick               it               up,               but               the               barrier               wouldn't               open,               and               he               had               to               press               a               button               for               assistance.

The               attendant               soon               arrived,               and               started               fiddling               with               the               machine,               by               which               time               some               bright               spark               had               found               that               the               right               lane               wasn't               actually               coned               off,               and               decided               to               use               that.

Everyone               else               behind               us               promptly               did               the               same,               leaving               us               trapped               behind               the               stuck               car               while               several               dozen               other               cars               passed               us               by.

If               you               know               me               at               all,               you               will               know               that               this               sort               of               situation               does               not               impress               me               at               all,               however               I               remained               calm,               and               a               few               minutes               later               managed               to               reverse               up,               and               someone               kindly               allowed               me               to               pull               in               to               the               queue               for               the               right               ticket               machine.

At               the               same               time,               the               attendant               managed               to               raise               the               barrier               for               the               trapped               car,               which               now               drove               on,               while               I               still               had               to               wait               for               several               more               cars               to               use               my               machine.

Grrrhhh....

How               many               of               you               have               had               similar               situations               I               wonder               when               parking,               or               at               the               checkout               in               the               grocery               store...
               We               managed               to               find               a               parking               spot,               and               then               took               the               escalator               up               to               the               store               entrance.

This               is               a               very               strangely               designed               store,               with               the               exit               on               the               first               floor               and               the               entrance               on               the               fourth.

You               can               either               take               the               escalator               up               the               levels               or               the               elevator,               but               most               people               take               the               escalator.

By               the               time               we               got               inside               the               store               it               was               heaving.

It               wasn't               quite               as               bad               as               a               grocery               store               on               Christmas               Eve,               but               it               didn't               fall               far               short               of               it.

Fortunately               we               knew               what               we               wanted               and               headed               off               to               the               Bathroom               section.

There               were               other               towel               rails               aside               from               the               one               that               we               had               originally               liked,               and               we               opted               for               a               different               design               based               on               the               fact               that               there               was               a               matching               glass               shelf               and               toilet               roll               holder.

I               had               measured               up               the               wall               to               the               left               of               the               washbasin               to               see               if               I               could               make               some               shelves,               but               these               were               the               perfect               size.
               Having               decided               what               we               wanted,               we               headed               down               to               the               checkouts,               paid,               and               then               took               the               escalator               back               up               to               where               we               parked.

My               fiancee               wasn't               concentrating,               and               so               she               ended               up               continuing               past               the               second               floor               where               we               parked,               and               up               the               next               escalator,               before               she               realized               that               we               had               gone               too               far.

Drat!

OK,               we               needed               to               go               back               down               one               floor,               but               the               escalators               only               go               up,               there               were               no               stairs               to               be               seen,               so               we               had               to               take               the               elevators.

There               are               three               of               these,               but               despite               the               down               buttons               lighting               up,               all               of               the               elevators               just               passed               us               by.

Eventually,               and               this               must               be               a               good               four               or               five               minutes               later,               one               stopped,               and               immediately               whisked               us               back               up               to               the               fourth               floor,               then               back               down               to               the               second               where               we               had               parked.
               The               excitement               over,               we               exited               the               store               and               I               drive               us               home,               relieved               that               this               part               of               the               day               was               at               least               over.
               Having               got               home,               it               was               of               course               time               to               start               fitting               the               new               items               in               the               bathroom.

My               fiancee               gets               a               little               fed               up               when               I               keep               asking               her               advice,               but               when               it               comes               to               deciding               where               fixtures               ought               to               go,               I               have               some               good               ideas,               she               does               as               well,               and               when               we               put               our               heads               together               we               come               up               with               the               best               solution.

Locating               a               simple               thing               like               a               toilet               roll               holder               is               not               exactly               rocket               science,               but               it               is               in               my               opinion               important               to               be               able               to               reach               the               paper               without               either               falling               forward               because               you               have               to               reach               so               far,               or               putting               your               back               out               because               you               have               to               turn               so               sharply               to               reach               behind               you.

Some               hotels               would               be               well               advised               in               my               opinion               to               consult               me               in               these               matters.

But               I               digress...
               We               decided               on               the               best               location               for               the               toilet               roll               holder               and               the               towel               rail,               which               has               four               bars               that               rotate               out,               and               is               above               the               radiator               so               that               the               heat               can               warm               up               the               bathroom               as               well               as               rise               up               and               dry               the               towels.

Again,               it               didn't               want               to               be               too               high               so               that               you               couldn't               reach               the               towels,               but               it               didn't               want               to               be               too               low               so               that               you               were               in               danger               of               poking               your               eye               out               while               standing               next               to               it               drying               yourself               either.

The               shelves               were               the               perfect               size,               and               so               I               set               to,               marking               holes,               drilling               and               fixing               everything               in               place.
               The               shelves               were               the               trickiest               part,               since               the               fittings               were               two               feet               apart,               and               I               don't               have               a               long               spirit               level.

just               below               the               fittings               are               some               tiles,               and               so               I               trusted               that               these               were               level               and               marked               my               holes               accordingly.

The               mountings               consist               of               a               bracket               that               you               screw               to               the               wall,               over               which               you               fit               a               round               cover,               which               has               a               round               tube               coming               up               vertically               out               of               it               for               three               inches.

This               is               supposed               to               align               with               a               hole               in               the               end               of               the               shelf,               and               knowing               my               luck               I               thought               that               either               these               would               not               fit               properly,               or               the               shelves               would               not               be               level.

For               once,               the               mountings               fitted               perfectly,               and               although               the               shelves               are               slightly               off               level,               it               doesn't               show.

They               look               rather               nice               too.

I               was               really               pleased,               but               had               pretty               much               had               enough               for               the               day               by               then.
               I               enjoy               doing               jobs               in               the               house,               but               in               my               experience               over               the               years               that               I               have               been               doing               it,               something               usually               goes               wrong.

There               is               no               reason               for               this,               and               it's               not               something               that               I               have               done,               it's               just               that               I               hit               a               snag               that               I               find               it               hard               to               resolve.

It's               like               putting               shelves               up               in               an               alcove               only               to               find               that               the               alcove               is               not               straight,               or               that               something               does               not               fit               properly.

Years               ago               I               put               some               speaker               brackets               up               in               an               alcove               in               my               first               house,               which               was               built               in               1910,               and               some               parts               were               not               straight.

The               speakers               were               rather               heavy,               and               required               good               brackets               to               hold               them               up,               but               I               hadn't               expected               the               plaster               at               one               side               of               the               alcove               to               be               one               inch               deep               and               the               other               side               to               be               almost               four               inches               deep!

I               had               trouble               finding               screws               that               were               long               enough               to               fit               through               the               plaster               into               the               brick               behind.
               By               this               time               lunch               was               ready,               a               late               Sunday               lunch,               and               it               was               really               good.

We               had               Roast               Beef,               Roast               Potatoes,               Roasted               Sweet               Potatoes,               Carrots,               Brussel               Sprouts,               Swede               (Rutabaga),               and               Yorkshire               Pudding.

Lots               of               good               thick               gravy               of               course.

Yumm....
               I               spent               the               rest               of               the               day               trying               to               catch               up               on               reading               articles               here               on               Associated               Content,               and               felt               at               least               that               as               a               result               of               our               family               emergency,               at               least               some               of               the               household               jobs               that               we               had               planned               for               later               in               the               year               had               now               been               done.
               My               fiancee               had               meanwhile               been               talking               with               her               daughter's               husband,               since               both               of               them               are               out               of               work,               and               asked               if               he               would               like               to               help               by               doing               some               gardening.

I               got               home               from               work               last               night               to               find               a               lot               of               the               flower               beds               had               been               dug               over               and               the               weeds               taken               out,               which               was               nice.

I               am               thinking               that               this               weekend               I               might               do               some               repairs               to               the               fences               at               the               back,               and               he               was               going               to               try               and               fix               the               front               wall               today,               so               soon               the               house               ought               to               look               and               feel               a               lot               better.

It               used               to               belong               to               our               landlord's               mother,               but               when               she               died               they               rented               it               out,               and               as               usual               when               tenants               have               been               in               a               property,               it               needed               a               lot               of               TLC.

It's               certainly               a               lot               nicer               now               than               when               we               moved               in               four               months               ago,               and               a               good               price               compared               to               other               properties               in               the               area.
               Well               that               concludes               our               "change               of               plans"               story               for               now,               or               at               least               brings               you               up               to               date.

Depending               on               what               happens               tonight,               I               may               bring               you               another               episode               in               our               ongoing               saga.

If               you               know               my               writing               well               enough,               you               will               know               that               "might               bring               you"               more               than               likely               means               "stay               tuned               for               tomorrow's               exciting               episode".
               I               hope               you               enjoyed               this               story,               and               if               you               didn't               yet               read               the               previous               two               parts,               the               links               to               them               can               be               found               at               the               top.
