(OT) How many times have you moved?

[oleg]

I think I can beat you all if not in numbers than in total mileage

"Local" Russia : Samara - Moscow - Pushchino (small town in Moscow region)
Russia-USA-Russia-USA : Pushchino - Seattle (as student) - back to Pushchino - back to Seattle
"Local" USA : Seattle - Austin (TX)
USA - UK : Austin - Manchester.

I HATE moving !!!

Oh, and I moved few times inside towns - 3 times in Seattle and two times in Austin. But that does not count.

I'm really amazed but the distance some people travel here. wow. makes my 31 odd miles seem like a candy trip

Distance doesn't mean anything these days.
A flight from Australia to the US is only 8-12 hours, which just happens to be the same amount of time that it takes to drive from Melbourne to Sydney, a distance of only 1000KM (600 miles???).

I use Metric Converter to do these kind of conVersions. It's a very small and handy app. It converts speed, acceleration, volume,... To much to mention.

Or you could do it the old way as for every mile you go you travel 1.6 KM. So just take 1000KM and devide that by 1.6. It came out with 625 miles which is not 100% accurate according to your calculations but it was close.

Good luck minipol... I just dug my heels in as well. It feels like I struck gold - but - goodness gracious, the work never stops. I hope you have some favors to call friends on- to help out with some of the bigger projects.

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 ?

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
