So it took us two weekends to move out. We used the long weekend to move all our personal stuff to our new home and the next weekend we moved the furniture to storage. In between we packed all other stuff into seventy odd boxes to store at my parents. We were very organised with stuff ready to go but it still took the removalists six hours for two destinations, half an hour apart - they worked hard and were very professional. We paid $800. PHEW! Hard work but so proud of all we achieved.
So now we are settling in at the Dalys. We are planning a garden/house sale next weekend of all the stuff we have left behind. We have gone with Wheelin the Wrecker to demolish. Hope to have that happen July7&8. We are the second owners of this home and co-incidently I ran into the first owner last weekend and she gave us her blessing wit our plans to demolish. Very sweet of her!
Next Friday we see the tender; this is when the site costs will be revealed and we are very very nervous. We need to come in under our 30,000 budget!! final contract on July 24th - after we have demolished - are we mad?!!
We have looked at several homes similar to ours, we are confirmed that this is the house for us and I am finally allowing myself to get a little excited. Two Caymans are in our area with different facades - I drive by both quite often and will probably be arrested for stalking soon. Have met both owners and picked up some tips.
