Multiple Updates!

This is a quick note to update you on how we have been doing with 'The Move' and latest news on the house.

We have officially moved! We are in to our 'cozy' little 3-bedroom unit/condo with a lot of things in various storage locations and boxes and chaos everywhere, but we're in! The next few weeks will be sorting and putting everything in it's place. I have moving day pic's to update once we get the Internet going again. Phone was switched off at the old place and due to be switched on at the new place last Friday (04/05), but in typical Monopolistic, take our time, Telstra fashion, there was a fault in the line (discovered early Friday) which was fixed at 7:30 AM on Monday morning, so no phone or Internet for the weekend. This exact same thing happened when we moved from our previous appartment to the house we are now demolishing and I expect will happen again when we move to the new house. Anyway, enough Telstra bashing.

As I write this, everything seems to be coming together today! The other half went by the place to grab the last of our 'stuff' and was pleasantly surprised to see the Gas & Electric company doing the abolishments that are necessary before we can start demolition! We had worried that this could take up to 20 days from when the order was placed (yesterday), but will be completed today! We also received in the mail our permission from the local council to build our garage over our easement on the eastern boundry of our property, which was the final piece of 'approval' we needed before moving forward. Also in the mailbox was the contract from the power company to install the power pit, which needs to be done prior to Henley coming in to pour the slab and build the house, and this was a welcomed surprise because the cost was about $300 less than we'd been anticipating, coming in at around $850 when we had been quoted around $1100!

That's all for now, but continue to watch this space as once we're back online (TELSTRA!!!!), there will be plenty of visual photo's to accompany all the soon to come updates!
