Keys to the New Joint

Picked up the keys to the 'new' rental property and began the laborious process of moving today. Actually, we had a pretty good head start by packing and storing several selected items at the in-laws place, but actually moved a couple of carloads of 'stuff' over there today.

Oh yes, one side not I forgot to mention in the previous post...
We had applied for and received permission to build our garage over the 6 ft. easement on the Eastern Boundary of our property from the local water authority, however we still needed to apply and receive permission from the local council as well. I was told (or recall being told that Henley would do this during the building permit stage and didn't think I needed to worry about it). Turns out it was something we needed to do, so I quickly downloaded the application form, provided all the paperwork for the application and dropped it off at the council. We should have an answer within two weeks and it's highly unlikely that they will deny us the permission, so it's not a worry, just an oversight that has been taken care of.

Anyway, on to the new place. After the wife had an 'interesting' issue with the garage door, we went back last night and solved the problem and I think the reality of our situation is beginning to sink in. This is really starting to happen! Extremely exciting and a bit daunting at the same time. I'll update the blog again this weekend to let you know how smoothly (fingers crossed), the transition with diconnections and connections actually goes!
