He was saying: One long weekend and it will be done, EEEEEAAAASY: a brand new bathroom! (new shower, paint and other little things. I mean: I’m naive, but there’s a limit!). 

Well, it’s been two weeks. Two weeks made of old layers of paint coming of suddenly once you’ve made sure that they wouldn’t, rotten walls [...]
