Guess what everyone! My wife and I bought a house! We received confirmation and signed the paperwork last night, and hopefully everything else (finance etc.) falls into place!

Here's what it looks like:











Obviously the furniture won't be staying...

There goes our financial freedom!

Apologies if I'm a bit distracted over the coming week, as I'll be running around checking on things and getting all the paperwork sorted out. I'm sure our trusty moderators will do an excellent job in filling in for me...

The house is beautiful! Very roomy and a lot of light everywhere! This is really great news! Congratulations to you both!!
About our moderators, don't worry we will take care of them

Thanks for the floorplan! I now know the way around your house

Wonderful!

Great news, congratulations to you both

Myself and my wife have been looking for over a year... and can't agree on what we want LOL.

Congrats! I love the backyard, now all you need is kids to fill the place up and trash it!

They just need me

Crackin'!

Beautiful home. Congratulations on the most important purchase of your life. Now the home improvement stores will become your favorite shopping place.

Nice place! So when do us shuttertalkers move in?

Excellent!! It looks quite roomy and bright.

Very nice.

You have grandma furniture.

My family might be moving too, soon. :o

Beautiful house! I like the patio room and the back yard -- really pretty landscaping.

Thanks everyone! We brought our parents and families through today to have a look again, and they're all pretty rapt about the house! And then we all went to McDonalds for lunch - which is literally 5 doors down the road. Good to know we'll never starve..

Slej, the furniture was the previous vendor's - and isn't staying. It's pretty much empty now.

We'll probably have to paint the house before we move it - lots of scuff marks around. And the garden is nice, just needs a bit of trimming of overgrown hedges down the back. Shuttertalk working bee??

Congratulations...I'm really happy for you...there go your camera upgrades though

Hope you took out enough on the mortgage for some photo equipment.

Sad but true.... *sniff*... there goes my dreams for a shiny new black 350D... well for the short term anyway.

Got a big trip planned at the end of the year to Malaysia and the Philippines, so I'll definitely get my new equipment by then...

Congrats ST! wooohoo.. looks great! How exciting!

<pulls out diary> hmm.. so when is the housewarming party?

Or you can get it in Malaysia
I'm also going at the end of the year!!! (but probably not the Phillippines)
and maybe after 1st sem exams... hopefully,, hahaha!

Big trip = away from shutterville

Let's have a party in ShutterVille

We finally got the keys!!

After some to-ing and fro-ing and delays on the vendor's side, they managed to settle today! Hooray!

This week we'll be getting some painters in and electrical work done, and then it's moving time!

Great new s for you.. I like the fuzzy look.... form one who also lives in a fuzzy place.Colin

Nice. We have our children in a separate wing, that way we can play the music loud and not disturb them.

We have our kinder 400 Ks away.. so our music isn't a problem.... and on the subject of load music.. the number one son was in one of Perth's rock bands a few years back an after one of the better shows at Perth's Melbourne Hotel the group received a review by 6NR ( uni radio)

the review was in these lines.. " with doubt the goon gut babes must be the worst band in Perth"

My oldest boy is in Melbourne so the music does not bother him much either.

Very nice--mazel tov!

Nothing like your own home There is a distinct, unique feeling of goning back home, especially if your own it
