Movin’ on up
Up, up, up to the Blue Mountains, what fun!
Yes, we’ve bought a house in the foothills of the Blue Mountains, NSW and two weeks tomorrow it’ll be all ours! The big move will start the following Monday (a two day pack up, on the freight train on Wednesday, delivered on Friday) and I’ll drive down with the dogs and cats on Wednesday. I promise to take the camera and take pictures along the way.
Its a rather beautiful house (well I think so anyway).. here’s some pictures stolen from the estate agents site until I can take some of my own
Of course, buying the house means that I’m in full on panic mode to get our QLD house sorted out before we leave. We’re lucky that we can wait until we’ve vacated before we put it on the market, so no worry about what to do with the animals when people are coming to view.. and also solves the problem of just how do you keep 3 teenage boys bedrooms tidy..
I’m just about to start glossing the doors downstairs.. then its a matter of painting the downstairs bathroom (now we’ve finally been able to get a plumber to come and fix the dripping toilet) and touching up the worst of the painting excesses in Ben and James’ room. I’ve got a garden man coming on Monday to tidy up and a cleaning firm to hose down the outside of the house and the paths/driveway/pool area.. and the lady from next door who has a cleaning company is coming this afternoon to give me a quote for cleaning inside once we’ve departed. Next week I’ll get in touch with some agents and find out just how much they think it’ll sell for..
Its certainly all go.. but it’ll be worth it.
