A new day, a new blog.
We've had a slight change of focus from building a house, to renovating an existing house.
It's been a fascinating, frustrating, expensive, stressful, exciting but ultimately unfulfilled journey which got us to this point.
Rather than bore you with the details, you can read about it in all it's hideous glory at  The Time Traveller's Guide to Building a House.
Suffice to say, the three years spent planning to build a house in Tasmania have come to nought. After much soul-searching (not to mention some terrifying accounting) in the latter part of 2014, we have come through bigger and stronger and more determined to pursue our plan to move from mainland Australia to the island State of Tasmania.
We have also managed to acquire a house, which is rather helpful in our quest.
Over the coming months we will track the progress of our move to Tasmania and how we manage it, our experiences with renovating our 1970's brick monstrosity, and what we end up doing for work.
At this stage, we are taking stock of our belongings and preparing for our move.
We hope you will enjoy the ride.
