The kitchen is finished. I know; it's a miracle! The floor was laid this morning and the last of the boxes were unpacked and cleaned up. The dining table is taken apart, moved into the 'dining room' (which is now a diner/kitchen) and that was cleaned up too.
Then Dad decides that the carpet in the living room needs cleaning. To do this, a hollow rubber ring is attached to the top of the vacuum cleaner and then a two-way tube is run through a hose attachment, so water goes from cleaner to carpet, and then the tube sucks up water from carpet into cleaner. It's very fiddly to put together, and we had all the usual grunts and over-dramatic sighs from father as he put the machine together and scrubbed at the carpet with the attachment. By 10pm, the carpet is soaked with water and shampoo remnants. Since we aren't allowed to step on the wet carpet, we all decide to retire to our bedrooms so we can watch the end of Armageddon on various televisions.
