Review and preview 2022
The 2022 review
Somehow December has gone by faster than expected. The last month of the year had barely begun when Christmas arrived and now the New Year is fast approaching. So it’s time to look back at what has happened in the apartments this year and time to look ahead to next year, because there are already lots of new things waiting for us and you.
But first things first. When I asked Christian to give me an overview of everything we did in the apartments in 2022, the list got longer and longer and longer and in the end we were both fascinated by everything we did in 2022. Some things are planned for the long term and some things – well, you know us quite well by now – are very spontaneous.
I’m going to try to do it in chronological order this year, but first, as you’ve probably already seen, we’ve completely redesigned our website and the virtual guestbook. New design, content tidied up and even clearer. And if you’re reading this article, then you know what I’m talking about.
Now back to the apartments. Throughout the year, we renewed the power lines in apartments 1 to 8. So that everything is in order again.
March 2022
March was all about remodeling and redesign. This is most clearly visible in apartments 4 and 8. Apartment 4 has great new beds – 2 single beds instead of the old double bed -, a new wardrobe and a beautiful new floor.
Apartment 8 has been completely renovated. New beds, new floor, new furniture, the apartment now looks fresh and new. However, the curtains had a bit of a delay. More on this in June.
Neue Böden gibt es nun auch in Apartment 7 und bei uns im Büro.
May 2022
May was all about the gardening season. We have redone the irrigation in all the gardens, i.e. Apartments 9, H03 and R02, so that watering is now much more efficient.
Apartment 9 has got great new tables and chairs for outdoor use. For even more space and opportunities to enjoy the terrace.
June 2022
The curtains for Apartmeng 8 finally arrived on June. As I said, some things simply take a little longer. Another new addition is a room divider between the dining area and entrance, so that you can create a little more peace and privacy here too.
Another thing we are really excited about is our dry steamer, which we have been using since the middle of the year. This removes stubborn dirt with full steam power and gives everything a fresh, new shine. And it is environmentally friendly anyway, because the appliance does not use any cleaning agents. Just water, nothing more.
July 2022
We are continuing with climate-friendly measures, our two e-charging stations are ready. So now you can charge your e-car in the comfort of your own home.
October 2022
In October, our guests had to get really sporty for a few days as the elevator was fitted with a new control system. But that also meant it was out of action for several days. In other words, a fitness program in the form of climbing stairs was included in the stay.
November 2022
November has (finally) brought Apartment F21/7 a new fridge.
December 2022
We are now using December to make lots of plans for 2023. Curious? Then simply read on
Current plans for 2023
I deliberately write current plans, because you know, the ranks and spontaneous decisions. So you can assume that the list will be a lot longer by the end of 2023.
So what will the coming months bring?
Apartments R02, H03 and R26 start right at the beginning of the year. The floor is sanded down to give it a fresh new shine. The old double beds will be removed and replaced by new, super-comfortable single beds. For even more sleeping comfort.
This is also the keyword for the next action. A mountain of upholstery will soon be delivered. New, fresh, comfortable cushions. I already have one of them in use, simply wonderful.
Speaking of sleep. The sofas in Apartment 9 will be picked up in a few days and returned freshly covered with new fabric in February.
Our carpenter is coming next week and then we will measure and draw. Apartment F21/17 is getting a new kitchen and the office completely new furniture.
Not visible to you, but still important: we are also redoing the power lines in Apartment 9.
Something is also happening in the building at Ferchergasse 19. We get a new entrance door. The current one is getting on in years. And the whole house gets lightning protection
So that’s it for now. When I look at the plans for 2023, there’s already quite a lot there, but my feeling (and experience) is that there’s certainly more to come. But that’s another story, which you can read in December 2023.
So there’s just one thing left for me to say to you at the end. Thank you for being our guest in the apartments, thank you for letting us be your hosts. And thank you for reading this article to the end.
I look forward to seeing you again soon in the apartments.
All the best Stephanie
