Moving house!
It has taken SEVEN months to organise all the council paperwork and for the removalists to be ready, but our house finally moved this week!

The removalist just has to put the roof back on and stump the house. Then all we have to do is connect power, install rainwater tanks and septic system, replace the roof, install insulation and ceiling fans, paint the interior...... its fun to have a project! I will show you around the inside as soon as the removalists have finished and its all settled on our property.
Have you ever moved a house? Or renovated an old house? Tell me it won't be too much work....

Just a mention for NSW potential home relocation: In QLD the usual permitted width for road transport is 8.5m and the house standard price is based on that, however in NSW transport width is limited to 5.5m, so the house seller factors in cost to cut and rejoin the house and transport it in more than one section. Contractors also charge a small premium on NSW delivery due to the more complicated regulatory environment.
