Well we've moved in and probably set up about 40-50% of the house.

MASSIVE THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED



The job still took all day, but was vastly easier than it would have been alone.
You guys rock my world.

Having people help us set up the kitchen, lounge and gaming room was also a stellar idea. We put them all to use more or less immediately and it's going to make this week a whole lot easier on us.

I'm really liking this house far more now that I'm living in it and have my stuff in it. It's bigger than I thought it was. There's also tons of little things I want to change/do/add like light fittings, door handles, electronics, cat5 wiring paint etc. That'll probably happen slowly over the next 6-12 months.

I'm just wondering how long I can hold Amanda back from tearing out our laundry wall :P


Went back to the old place on Sunday, Amanda cleaned the inside while I got the ladder up and cleaned the guttering, mowed what lawn I could reach, destroyed the mower while mowing too close to the hard rubbish (it looks like I collected some bailing twine or something. Feeling pretty sore today, totally worth it though.

Slept like crap as well, got up at 5:30, left home at 6:53 and got to work at about 7:50, Amanda gave Luke and I a lift to Surrey Hills station, so theoretically I could get a zone 1 ticket and a pack of 2 hr zone 2's and only validate when someone is on the exit gate, but I probably won't do that

Hooray for everyone, but particularly Adam and his endless motivation, Sarah for staying the night and probably putting at leeast 20 hours into the house already and Jane for doing such an amazing job with the kitchen. Honestly, we are very lucky to have these people around us.

The amount of times that we move house it is the least I can do to help others when it's their turn :)

You help so many people, so much... You've helped me so much in so many ways.
