Finally done.

We changed cars today. :)

Fredrik called at 10.20 (he woke me up) and told me that he would come home early today and that we would go switch cars! So, now we have a Volvo in the driveway. :) I'll take some pictures tomorrow, but Blogger isn't wanting to let me add pictures, so if it is working tomorrow, I'll add them, if not, I'll add them when it is working.

I'm sorta happy to have changed cars ... :) I think Fredrik is, too.
Can't complain too much, though .. Not only did he give us what we expected for our car, and 4 000 sek off the car we bought, but when we showed up today, he had also put 4 brand new tires on the car (and we got a set of winter tires, too).

The chimney fixer-person also called today and he said they have a flat fee of rebuilding the fireplace: 26 000 SEK (3,700$). He said that it would probably be best, and give a better result to take down the entire fireplace and rebuild the whole thing (instead of doing only the top part). He said the earliest he can get to it is October, and that it then has to sit for 2 months before it can be used.

And the window place also called today! And they will come over on Wednesday at 10 to give us an estimate on changing the windows in our small food room (breakfast room).

Fredrik will be coming home around lunch time tomorrow, and after eating, he will go to a place in Åmål where he is going to be working for a few days. He is happy to be working close to home for a short while. And if this project goes well, his boss said they then should be getting much more work in Åmål (which Fredrik is pleased about).

So, things are slowly coming together. :)

Today, I made a list of phone numbers to take to the hospital with us. So Fredrik will have a ready list to call people and let everyone know how things are going.

Yesterday I washed the last pile of baby clothes that we had ... and the washer decided to behave very poorly, and didn't run the spin cycle at all (no matter how many times I ran the setting). So, I eventually rang the clothes out myself and threw them in the dryer. And we seem to think the dryer is giving up, too.. :/ Because it has to work double to get out the water.. So, we still need to look into getting new ones. Just not easy to run an hour to Karlstad to look at things.. :/ :)

But the clothes ended up washed and dryed in the end. :)
And today I picked out (probably too many) baby clothes to take with us to the hospital, and they are already packed in the baby's bag. :) (A "little" early, I know - but I'm anxious.) :P

Pictures tomorrow! (If it is working.)
