Ot What a Pain!!. when it comes to moving..LOL.

LOL I'll probably be in your shoes sometime in the next 12 months or so. Not looking forward to it hahahahaha

Gday,
Yeah!!!! I know the feeling.
We are in the process of cleaning up ready to sell.
All those little jobs I never finished......
The junk behind the shed!!!!!
What a nightmare.
Just got to keep looking at while we're doing it though.........FISHING, a safe place for the kids to grow up, catching up with mates, fishing, boating, less drunken theives, fishing, new tracks, new job, a bit of land, fishing, a new house, taking the dogs to the beach, fishing, to stand in a bank cue and not dry reach because the person in front has bleep themselves or not showered for a year, fishing.......It will all be worth it when we get there...

Cheers and good luck.

After having to listen to the neighbours kids cranking the sub woofers up in the shed next to mine(their building is on the property boundary) and me banging the tin wall with a 6ft steel pipe and some harsh words from both sides, I declared that maybe the time has come to move....again!!

We stopped here 8 years ago and unloaded a caravan. Now we would have to load up a Road Train!!!

Maybe a MC in the right place will solve all the feral neighbour woes...not to mention the incessant barking dogs!!!

So where are you moving to Axle? A smaller house or a unit in an Old Age Facility?

Cheers

yep, we are also renovating to sell. Not looking forward to the move at all. i have done two major clear out jobs, and that is including some furniture, going right through the cupboards etc.
Inside the house I have downsized quite well I think, Well, as well as can be expected, not looking forward to having to attack the shed though!

All the best with it Axel,
As a kid we moved 9 times in 11 years. Left home at 16 and seemed to be moving house every 6 months, from one renter to the next. Lived in a 27 foot caravan with Fysh and two Ridgebacks for nine years, four different C'Parks. 10 year ago we bought this place, I'm not moving again, they'll have to carry me out in a box. I love the place we're in now. 2 acres, in town, no crime, a k' from the school for the kids, a shed bigger enough to get in to trouble with. And the CBA lets me rent here for nicks.This place is like an old pair of boots. It's always comfortable to be in. I hate moving, never ever want to move again.

Have fun Axel.

Axle

Where are you living now and where will you be moving to?

Hi Axle,
Hope all goes well with your house sale and your move. It is a big and quite often a sad decision but hopefully one that will work out well. Being a bower bird myself I can completely understand your "clean-up". Before I left Perth (WA) back in Jan 1989 I spent a fortune on hiring skips to off load my valuable holdings. (The war-office cruelly, and obviously uninformed, called it junk and other less publishable names. It amazes me how the opposite sex has such a limited understanding and tolerance in our ability and need to safely keep these obvious valuable artefacts.) She even caught me a couple of times raiding my own skip. Did I get a serve though when we got to Tasmania and they start unpacking the containers, (2 of them), and some of these valuable artefacts miraculously appeared from them. I am not sure how many times I heard the comment "That wasn't on the list!!" during the unpacking saga. Or the constant threat of divorce! (mind you the divorce threat is an ongoing torment!)
I hope your family has a good move and keep your sense of humour. I know the move to Tassie was the best thing we did especially for the kids and our piece of mind. ( We actually left after having house robbed twice in 6 months and our Samoyed dog being callously killed during the second time.) Admittedly leaving all our family and friends was difficult, (well leaving some err a few of them anyway). The best thing though was we moved from a quarter acre plot to a 2.5 acre paradise, and I am less than a km from prime Trout fishing waters. AND I now have 2 massive sheds, yep you guessed it, one with the tinnie, trailer, Paj and Jack in it and the other full of my well accrued artefacts.
Sometimes moving can be worth the initial pain. I wish you and family all the best in your new venture...just keep smiling.

It must be something in the water! we are also finishing renos to sell this place to get a bigger block and house. SWMBO says we will only need a medium sized truck for the house contents , a large truck for the shed and 2 semis for the junk under the house !! hahaha but seriously have i got some serious crap to get rid of still, only recently i had hard rubbish in the area and got rid of enough stuff to fill half the front yard ! its OK to keep useful stuff while renovating but its paiful to get rid of it when it comes time to move! cheers.
