Shutter-ville!
#1

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... Big Grin

There goes our financial freedom! Big Grin

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... Big Grin

About our moderators, don't worry we will take care of them Wink

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.. Big Grin

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?? Big GrinBig Grin

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

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.
