Take your time. From what I hear the house will take you about 2 years to get it where you like it.

Hehehe good one. Yeah something like that. We are doing it in steps but we are going to live in it even while it's not finished. I'm so happy i can move that i even would have been happen if i moved to a cave (as long as it has internet connection :-)

We had some friends over to paint but there are reprecussions in doing so. If 10 people come over to help this will probably mean you will need to help those 10 people somewhere in the future too and since i don't like painting to begin with, i took the easy way out: i painted everything myself It doesn't look to bad although an experienced painter might laugh at my "accomplishmlents" but "i did it my way"

So, how many years are you going to be painting ?

Just finished painting... except for touch-ups. Who knows when I'll get to them? Probably after the shoe molding.

We lived in here amongst boxes for quite a bit. A few of them still serve as furniture. So funny: we got a Tiffany's vase as a special present... and we'll probably put it on a cardboard box...

For travel, but not for moving the household ! You can rent a truck, load your stuff, drive to Sydney and unpack, all in 2-3 days and a cost of ~ $100. Now, move to US for example [Smile]

My family has done the big move, from London to Melbourne, Via LA airport. I was surprised they allowed us on the plane with the amount of Coats, Bags & electrical goods (2 laptops, 2 Walkmans, 2 mobiles, Portable Sterio) that we were carrying.

Of course it helped having an International Pilot as a friend, who was bringing us bags for months...

Chances are you will never get to them, because you always find another job that needs to be done first.

Baron, if you have a friend that's pilot, does that mean he introduces you to the lovely cabinet personel

I claim ignorance in your question, especially if my wife is lurking.
Seriously we have never actually been on the same flight...

Well today, i was supposed to go and join the selection for the all star team we are having next saturday here in Belgium where the flemish federation plays the walloon federation (American Football).
Because of all the work, i missed this Last practice and i will not get selected for the game If i would have gone, i would have been selected because of my good season and good practice. Now i get nothing. It's sad.
This new house better be good or else !
