    Hi everyone,
    At last we are in our home in Gympie. The shed is built, and I will post pics when my photographer has time to take some. I don't know if I will get to use it before Christmas as we are still settling in. We were too trusting of the people we purchased from and let them rent back wtihout using an agent. They left owing four weeks rent, and the house was filthy. After a lot of bleach, disinfectant, and help from family it is now liveable. It will take such a long time, rain and hard yakka to get the garden and lawn back to life. Can't wait to get some turning done to relax the nerves.
    Don's shoulder is good. We go back to Rockhampton on Thursday to see the surgeon, and hope he will be given the all clear.
    Will try to get to catch up on some of the doings of the forum over the next few days.
    Cheers,
    Shirley

    Thumbs up

    G'day Shirley and welcome back to sanity inc.

    Yeah, some tenants can be right PITA but you only lost a bit of time and money.

    Glad to hear Don's doing fine. We look forward to your new shed adventures.
