Here is a photo of the dining room and living room before we have moved in. Tamara calls the colours “hospital green”. They even painted the ceiling that colour, so they must have really liked it.

One we get all of our furniture in we will see how it fits. The area is smaller than our old living and dining area, so it might be a tight fit. Since Tamara has the camera with her down in Adelaide I will need to wait to post new photos until they come back on Thursday next week. I just hope that Tamara likes how we moved everything in…

Tamara and Caleb have both headed down to Adelaide for their 12 days away while I move into and renovate the new house.

It sure is strange living on our old house now knowing that Tamara and Caleb will never live their again and in a few months time it will probably be knocked over by a bulldozer. We had put a lot of plans and work into that old place even though we only lived in it for two and a half years. It’s a bit sad to see us go, but it is going to work out to be a lot better we think.

Although I have not yet been able to talk Tamara into writing on this site she has written an article on our Reef to Outback staff page. She’s got a few pictures on there (which makes me feel slack about not putting enough on here) and has also written a bit about the move will mean to us and all that will be involved with it.

Tamara is a much better writer than I am so I hope that you enjoy her article.  While you are there maybe you could drop her a message through the “Contact Me” page to encourage her to add to this site…

We’ve booked tickets for Tamara and Caleb to fly down to Adelaide for about two weeks from December 31 – January 12. While they are down there I will be taking the time to move from our old house to our new one. As well as moving I’ll also be finishing up some of the work that I need to on the house before they get home. Hopefully with them not here I will be able to get a lot more done and it should alleviate some stress.

I’m going to rent a moving truck and a bunch of people from work are going help me with the house move, which will be good. Last time I got help moving though a lot of our furniture ended up getting scratched up, so I will be a bit more picky about who I get to help out this time. Then again, beggars can’t be choosers…
