The Old Tin Shed

Hi guys.  Just an update to let you know whats going on.  We found out about 8 or 9 days ago that we would have to move house.  Our landlord and friend, was suddenly removed from his job and had to return home.  They have been awesome to us all along, so we went house hunting I hate moving as this blog can attest to, the uncertainty does my head in to put it lightly, I get very depressed and overwhelmed by the whole thing.  Anyway we looked at more houses than I can poke a stick at, and came up with one that we definitely wanted even though it didn't have a pool. The house is 3 year old an no one has lived in it, its an ex display home.  4 bedrooms and a living entertaining area that suits our lifestyle down to the ground.  We put together what we thought was a good proposal, taking photos of inside our home to show the potential landlord how we live, and plenty of good references last Friday and we waited. The good ...

Well the house hunting is on in earnest.  Have ruled out five so far and found at least two we would consider.  You know this reminds me why i hate moving all the uncertainty is enough to drive one nutty. Diet died two days ago but i needed a break and back to it in earnest tomorrow.  Might post a link to one of the houses we are hopefull about. First official lecture today it was more an induction.  Was good learnt a lot which is why i suppos its mandatry.

Ok. now you all know how much I hate shifting house. More specifically how much I hate shifting furniture down and up stairs.  Well today we went to go help one of my partners friends.  Due to the fact she is under 25 I rented the removal truck in my name with the intention of only driving it.  Ha Ha Ha the laugh is on me. We arrive at her place to find a Huge modular couch, An incredibly heavy front load washer fridge and solid timber bedroom suite, including tall boy.  Now you could probably imagine how unhappy I was to see all this furniture.  What made it worse is it was all on the second floor with stairs that make the Himalayan, mountains look like a bowling green.  To top it off the monsoon is here, humidity is high and the Suns scorching. So much for only 2 hours.  We loaded the truck and took it to the place she was going to move in.  She got there and proceeded to burst into tears, saying she didn't want to live there.  She h...

Hi all, been a little while since I posted and for that I do apologize.  However I have a great excuse. You see I moved house.  I wont say it was a pleasant experience, because it wasnt, it was down right horrible.  The move day was set weeks in advance we organized a truck and started packing.  There was a whole heap of drama around the house we were moving to but thats another post. So the big day arrives, up early get the truck go to the new house do final condition report, get to the old house around 11.30am.  It was HOT HOT HOT, the sun was fierce and it was humid as all hell.  Turns out over 30 people presented at the hospital with heat stress.  Was the hottest January day on record. So we decided to retreat into the house and the A/C and have a sleep till it cooled off a little. Was a great plan, but it didn't cool down, around 4.30pm we started moving all the heavy stuff, the next 13 hours are a blur I made 2 trips in the truck to the new...
