<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yes! It's confermated!

To tell the truth, he was obsessed! In the last months he wok up every day saying to my mother: "This night I've tought that we can make this, or maybe it's better if we make that..." and so on ... every day...all day long!!

Aiuto, fermatelo!!!

Mio padre è in pensione. Faceva lo chef. Ma in realtà il <strong>lavoro dei suoi sogni era...il geometra</strong>! Da quando è partita l'avventura della costruzione della nostra casa <strong>pare assatanato</strong>. Già al primo incontro con il geometra (quello VERO) che ha fatto il progetto della casa, si è trasformato: gli occhi gli brillavano metre parlava di malte, solaio, scavi, e quant'altro. Ed è preparato!! Io non capivo metà delle domande che poneva! In più è pignolo e preciso, insomma il nostro geometra ha incontrato il suo incubo!! Perchè era ed è presente anche lui agli incontri col geometra? Semplice, la nostra casa verrà fatta ristrutturando una parte della casa dei miei (me l'hanno donata) e costruendone un pezzo. Quindi lui si sente MOLTO preso in causa. <strong>Calcolatrice alla mano spulcia</strong> fino al midollo ogni preventivo che riceviamo e si vuole informare su ogni particolare. A noi va anche bene, avendo poco tempo tra lavoro e piccolina, ci evita un bel po' di corse. Ma il fatto è che ne è ormai assuefatto: si alza la mattina dicendo a mia madre: "Ho pensato questo, ho pensato quello", <strong>ha già cominciato a smontare il giardino</strong> in attesa che le ruspe effettuino gli scavi, e, se potesse, avrebbe già in mano il martello per demolire ciò che và demolito. Mia madre, stoica, lo sopporta, e quando non ne può più và a farsi un giro in bici! Io lo lascio fare, è in pensione e questo è diventato il suo nuovo hobby. Intanto navigo su Internet sempre a caccia di belle immagini per sognare la mia nuova casetta, come queste che vengono da <a href="http://www.greengate.dk/">Green Gate</a>:<br /><br /><em><strong>My fater is retired. He was a chef. But his dreams' job was: builder! </strong>Since we started the adventure of building our new house, he became frantic. He is the nightmare of our geometer: he makes a lot of questions and he knows almot everything about building a house! Why is he so involved in the building of OUR house? Simple, our house will be built restructuring part of my parents' house. That's why he</em> <em><strong>is SO involved</strong>. That's ok with us because we work and I have my little one to care about. But the fact is that he is becoming addicted: he wakes up saying to my mother: "I have tought this, I have thought that." My mother listens, nods and then, when she is exausted, she goes out for a bicycle ride!!!!</em><br /><em>Meanwhile I search on Internet beautiful images with which dream on my house.

Ce l'ho, ce l'ho..manca!

In questi giorni mi sento come quando, da piccola, giocavo con gli album e passavo ore assieme alle mie amichette con in mano questi mazzi enormi di figurine a guardarle e dire: ce l'ho, ce l'ho, manca, ce l'ho... Il tutto tra un odore incredibile di plastica, colla, carta che non saprei definire meglio se non...odore di figurine!!! Ora però non ho in mano figurine, ma preventivi: quello della ditta edile, quello dell'idraulico, dell'elettricista, il falegname.... Caspita, erano più divertenti le figurine! Ho dovuto imparare termini che prima non conoscevo: computo metrico, collettori, casse morte (non prendete paura, sono le intelaiature grezze delle porte che vengono montate durante la costruzione). Insomma, io vorrei perdermi e fantasticare su meravigliose cucine bianche, verande all'aperto da allestire con fiori profumati, camere da letto coccolose ... e mi ritrovo, calcolatrice in mano, a misurare, rimisurare, battere prezzi e chiamare il geometra per frazionamenti e altre scartoffie!<br />Per fortuna poi apro uno dei miei blog e guardo case meravigliose, da cui prendere spunto!

Pronti, partenza, via!!

E così, eccoci qui: immersi nei preventivi di idrulici, elettricisti e muratori per dare vita alla nostra prima casa! Eh sì, dico prima, perchè finora io, mio marito, nostra figlia e il nostro gattone, abbiamo sempre vissuto in affitto.<br />Esattamente 3 anni e 3 mesi, in cui abbiamo pure fatto 2 traslochi!<br />Infatti prima io e mio marito abbiamo vissuto 1 anno e mezzo in uno di quegli appartamenti che vengono definiti mini e che sono costituiti esattamente da: ingressosoggiornoangolocottura+bagno(se sei fortunato finestrato)+camera. Noi eravamo fortunati: avevamo il bagno finestrato e pure un piccolo "scoperto privato" (modo elegante per dire un pezzetto di giardino). Ma quando abbiamo scoperto di essere incinti, abbiamo deciso che serviva una casa più grande! Avevamo anche iniziato a cercare qualcosa da comprare, ma dopo vari colpi apoplettici dovuti ai prezzi allucinanti che ci sparavano, abbiamo deciso che l'affitto era ancora la soluzione per noi! E così nel luglio 2008 ci siamo trasferiti in un appartamento con 2 bagni, 2 camere ed il solito ingressosoggiornoangolocottura.<br />...<br />Fino all'ottobre 2009, quando mio padre ha azzardato la proprosta di cederci parte della casa più un pezzo di terreno per realizzare qualcosa di nostro. Noi abbiamo accettato entusiasti e...è iniziata la nostra avventura!<br /><br /><br /><em>So here we are, at the beginning of a new exciting adventure: the building of our new house! And it will be our FIRST house, because we have always lived in rented houses untill now! </em><br /><em>When we were just two, my husband and I, we lived in a mini-apartment. When we discovered we would have a baby, we moved into a bigger apartment, but still a rented one, 'cause of the expensive prices of the houses. The, the last october, my father asked us if we wanted to have a part of my partent's house to transform into OUR home. YES!!! Of course!!!Result? W</em><em>e are literaly absorbed in reading and trying to understand all the offers from plumbers, electricians and builders! The adventure has began!</em>
