Yeah, so here's the go! My niece is a store manager for the Coles supermarket chain here in Oz and she's having to transfer to enhance her career opportunities, meaning that she needs to move house while somebody else moves in to keep an eye on the place. That's where we come in... not that I had any plans to move again any time soon. Thing is, it is a much bigger house than the one we're in, with more living area inside and out, and my niece needs a rent income coming in to help pay the mortgage and maintenance bills, etc. That's alright... it's a 100 bucks a month cheaper than what we pay now, and it's convenient to shopping, everything we need. The real bonus about all this is the fact that my niece will not be wanting to move back into this house, so we can pretty much stay there indefinitely... it's more an investment for her kids when they're adults than being the family home now.
Yup, really looking forward to it! There's upstairs/downstairs, a covered entertainment areas outside, a huge double garage for added storage (we don't got cars), and this massive entertainment lounge downstairs WITH a TV/projector, wall-mounted screen and hi-fi surround sound already installed. Like WOW, we're picking up this $7,599 (original retail value) entertainment unit for just $800. Bargain!!! Apart from the fact that my niece didn't pay full retail price, due to 10% staff discount during a store-wide sale, she just doesn't want to have to pony up to have it professionally removed and reinstalled at her new place,
The place is semi-furnished, also, so although we already have our own furniture, it is for a smaller place and we would have had to buy more to fill the place properly. We'll have an additional lounge/sofa suite for downstairs entertainment area, an outdoor lounge setting for the massive back deck, an 8 piece dining setting and a large BBQ setting (table and chairs) for the covered outdoor area. Oh, and the storage in this place is like WOW. There are built-in cupboards and closets everywhere, so we don't need to buy any of those for when we get there.
We have another 5 weeks on our current lease, but we well start packing and moving our lesser needed stuff as of this week,... saves doing it all in a rush at the end. Anyhow, we mightn't be around quite as much over the next few weeks, but don't worry, we're not gonna disappear any time soon... and nobody think about disappearing if'n when we're gone, ya hear??
Oh, Kitty, if you're reading this, we'll be a bit closer to you n' wulfee... at Brassall.
