Exhausted

The last week has been an exhausting one.
Sunday we had to move Sander's belongings, as he had to leave the building he was living in. Since then we are living together in Marianne's house.
Wednesday from 2pm till 10pm, we still had to guard the property Sander had been living in as a live-in guardian. We used this time to remove some laminated flooring from one of the houses. We are going to use it on the attic of Marianne's house as it currently is lacking any form of floor covering.
Thursday Sander had a party with his new colleagues, which he needed to recover from on Friday. Marianne used the opportunity to visit some friends in Groningen.
Saturday we visited the welder who is going to build us some pannier racks. But as we didn't have much time to prepare ourselves, we only shared some rough ideas. Back at home we used the afternoon to remove some parts from the bike. Unfortunately the exhaust was suffering from corrosion. As Sander tried to remove the exhaust clamp, the spot welded nuts came off. After trying to lube things up with some (penetrating) oil, the bolts had to be removed using an angle grinder.
However the muffler wouldn't separate from the down pipes. So we bolted the clamp back on using some stainless steel nuts and bolts (dipped in Copper grease).
Yesterday morning we had to bring Marianne's couch to Doetinchem, which is about an hour and a half drive from Almere. The afternoon we used to fix the dining table, deliver some of the stuff we have on sale to someone in Almere and tidy up the house.
We're really looking forward to the upcoming holidays!
