You & me both. ha

Howdy all.Well the 18th of this month the 3rd & final container gets delivered,loaded & transferred to removals depot.All things being equal i should be flying down a day or two later. The removalists arrive & unload on the 26th in Q/town.Then the fun begins......278 square metres of foil & insulation so i can fill the rooms with furniture. gordo

Gordo what can I say you started long before us and we have been here now over a month.

Tell the truth the freezing temps have scared you off.

Gday Ray. Yep,true.But there were a couple of things i wanted to do before the final move.One was catching up with my 2nd boss from 50 years ago which i did last week on the Nth Coast although we`ve kept in contact/visits all these years.(btw,got your msg while inflight coming back).But the date has been set in concrete now so no more excuses.

Evening all. Well it`s almost that time as the removal guys get here 7am in the morning & so the computer gets packed away soon. I have no idea as to when I`ll be back online so trust you all stay safe & well. cheers gordo

Watch out for the barrage of SMS then Gordo I guess you went to ALDI Ski sale and stocked up

Evening all. Well its been a few weeks since the shed in Sydney was swept up & i`m finaly online.Lots o things have been going on like rain,rain & more rain. Leaking roof hasn`t helped either. I knew about it but didn`t realise it was that bad. So a newy is being sorted but will have to be done when the weather clears. In the interim i`m living out of boxes & a converted office. I have made some small improvements......slicing a metre off the 4m long bathroom & thereby giving me a 1m deep x 2m wide alcove for the kitchen dresser. New electricals in one half of the place - 2 double p/points & light fitting in 3 bedrooms/dining/triple lights in kitchen ( I've added industrial ali shades to all) laundry & bathroom lights.The electrics came in at 400 bucks.Until the roof is fixed no bedroom furniture can be added. Garage is chockers with packing boxes etc still. Otherwise great area & people. gordo

G'day gordo, was just reading about the Unconformity Festival in Queenstown and I realised you hadn't posted for a while.

Queenstown's The Unconformity arts festival helps mining region evolve, celebrates past - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

How's things going for you in your new residence, hope things are progressing and that the weather is warming up for you.

Gordon if this weekends weather forecast is what it is brrrrrrrr stay in doors or the pub where its nice and warm.

Hi BigShed & Wheelinround. Things move pretty slowly down here. You get told a day in a week --- but never the month it will happen. Still waiting to do the bedrooms as the leaking roof hasn`t been sorted yet. Apparently a couple of weeks away now. Fingers crossed. So in the meantime I`m just revamping the front office to a 'media' room----computer/tv/temp bedroom. And copious johnnies down at the Railway. Yep, big event here this week end.Massive mine vehicle entourage last night through main street. Heard the loudest doof doof ever coming from the cab of an excavator over & above the other mine machinery/monster semis`with stacks billowing smoke,air horns bellowing ear splitting decibels. Heaps of street stalls.Popup bars.Bands. Great week end overall.
