Repair, maintenance, painting, cleaning and celebration!

No matter how much I procrastinate, I started by saying that it will happen to me sooner or later. This was just to motivate myself, but it's working.

First of all, I started with the paint selection. Champagne was the right color for the wall, which was in a lighter tone... I bought both transition paint and primer to cover the dark oil paint color in the hallway and return to plastic paint... and ceiling paint for the ceilings...

The only thing to blame for all this was the caved-in ceiling and my callous brother. Luckily he helped during the whole painting process.

It's fun to paint a house with no furniture, but it's hard to paint a house with furniture in it and it's boring to put paint on the ceiling or walls because there's not enough room to move around...

...and the most boring place is the kitchen. Above the cupboards and behind the gas pipes is torture; not only is it hard to apply the paint, it's even harder to stand up.

Two days before the dyeing started, I gave all the carpets in the house to be washed. The price per square meter was $0.64 in dollar terms.

They kept their word and returned all the carpets clean in the afternoon on the day the dyeing was completed. They look clean enough!

I forget the exhaustion of the paint job that comes after repairing the collapsed ceiling and the leaky plumbing because of the work completed...

...and my brother, whom I've been gossiping about a bit, and we're celebrating the same night. The collapsed sink ceiling was his fault!

We celebrate in the garden with raki, fish, salad and fruit appetizers. Raki is a Turkish drink obtained through distillation. I hope you had a chance to taste it.

It is nice to have someone with whom you can share common feelings and thoughts, experience happiness and sadness together and most importantly, trust them and lean on them without hesitation... it is even more beautiful when they are siblings.

As we travel the bumpy roads of life, we don't know what will happen to us and when... but having people you can trust helps turn every difficulty into an easy one.

I love you, brother, and I have no doubt about your love!
