Renovations

So after returning from Vienna, to which I can't add anything to what my classmates have already hashed out, it seems that almost every room of our house has changed. The biggest example is that one of the doors to the kitchen is sealed off, and all the furniture rearranged to give more room and openness to the eating area. In my room, a big new sliding-door wardrobe appeared. This is the result of my host-dad making changes several months in the making.

A little background. My host dad recently served a shift in Afghanistan in the German postal service. While he wasn't actively fighting, he was deployed abroad and helping support both German and American troops. And as it turns out, he very much likes building, rearranging, and modifying his house, and these are several projects that he didn't have time to do before he left. Now that he's back, he has a brief time off before returning to work to readjust to life at home, spend time with his family, and in his case tackle random projects around the house.
