We are settle down slowly in our New Home :)

We are settle down slowly in our new home:
It will be one month tomorrow that we moved out from Limerick city center to a very nice village called Annaccotty. The house is very nice, but as a new house, we had to experiment a lot of issues and we still have some problems, but slowly it is getting better. For instance, during the first week of our moving, we were without any heating and it was very cold. The system did not work, even if the builders were coming every day to find the problem with this heating system. It took a week for them to be able to fixe it. Then we had this issue with the fireplace and we still have it. The builders are not very reliable and it takes them ages to find a solution...It is a bit unfair for us, but hopefully it will be fixed by the end of the month. But the best part has been with our backgarden wall :) The builders were working on the house behind us which still on construction site and they saw a little crac on the wall and without informing us, they decided to broke the wall and rebuild it again...It was a very big surprise when we came to the kitchen and saw our backgarden wall on the ground and all the grass and plants in our garden completely spoilt...They finaly rebuild the wall after a week and next week the landscape company will replaced the grass, the plants and flowers. So apparently the garden should be nicer than before :)

Nous nous installons doucement dans notre nouvelle maison:
Cela fera un mois demain que nous avons quitte notre appartement du centre de ville de Limerick pour ce petit village du nom d'Annaccotty. La maison est vraiment tres sympa et nous apprecions de vivre a la campagne. Le probleme est que d'emmenager dans une maison neuve n'est pas toujours la meilleure solution. Les constructeurs nous ont donne queleques sueurs froides. Tout a commence avec le chauffage qui ne fonctionnait pas. Nous sommes restes une semaine sans chauffage et je vous avoue que vivre sans chauffage quand il fait entre -1 et 5 degres a l'exterieur n'est pas tres encourageant...Mais bon apres une semaine les builders ont reussis a reparer le systeme de chauffage. Mais nous rencontrons toujours des soucis avec la cheminee. Ils semblent ne pas etre tres presses pour la reparer...Et le pire je crois a ete le mur de notre jardin...Les builders qui bossaient sur le construction de la maison de derriere, ont vu une fente dans le mur mitoyen de celui du fond du jardin et ont decide sans nous prevenir de le casse et de le reconstruire. Quelle fut notre surprise en revenant a la maison? Ils ont egalement detruits les plantations de notre jardin. Heureusement ils vont repare les degats et nous devrions avoir un joli jardin :)
