If you're a regular Q-Lips listener, you'll know that my wife and I have been knee-deep in the process

of renovating a little old house that we're planning to move into in just a few months.

Now, I haven't talked too much about it because let's face it home renovation can be a little bit boring to hear about week after week after week. But I've got a couple of stories, a funny story and also a story that's

culturally interesting to share with you today that I just had to tell.

Welcome to Bonus episode number 47 of the Culeps English podcast. My name's Andrew and I'm here to be your English study buddy for the day.

So if you're looking to improve your English study buddy for the day. So if you're looking to improve your English

skills you've come to the right place. Not only will I be sharing some

entertaining tales with you today but I'm also going to teach you a great idiomatic expression

that you can add to your vocabulary and use in your everyday conversations.

And along the way I'll give you some updates about what the

Q-Lips team and I were up to this week. Now if you want to follow along with my

renovation stories we've got a free transcript of this episode that's available for you to access.

You can find it just by following the link in the description for this episode

or by visiting our website QLips.com. The transcript is a fantastic tool

to help you understand everything I say and you can use it to challenge yourself

by listening to the episode first and then

reading the transcript to confirm what you didn't catch or if you'd prefer you can

read and listen at the same time, whatever works best for you. So without any

further ado let's listen to my stories about renovating my house and I hope

that you'll enjoy them. Here we go.

The house my wife and I are renovating is really small.

There's only three rooms in total.
