A few more suggestions:

2 ces meubles = this furniture (le mot 'furniture' n'est jamais au pluriel).
6 "how did you go about it?" is also common.
10 "for" is often omitted in this type of question.

15 "they haven't come to visit us" - present perfect is better here. [A mon avis l'usage du préterit dans ce type de phrase est un américanisme voire un barbarisme].
