I was woken by a cacophony of screaming this morning, no I don't mean my sun conure (though he did join in) but my mother. Our offer on the house we loved was accepted, at a far lower price then we expected.
So the first step towards owning our own house is complete. The next big issue is the building inspection. The house we're buying is a double brick house and all the wiring is on the inside of the walls and has been neatly run along the ceiling beams. It is in that insulating stuff but if it is dodgy we can't buy the house. I think though that it's just what is normally hidden by gyprock/fibro and is just visible in this house, however we could be wrong. The other issue is the fact that the house has sat vacant for three years, it still does have a power but there is the worry that the water heater and pumps won't turn on or that some snakes have found there way into the water tanks which would necessitate them being completely cleared out and new water bought.
But we are getting somewhere. The house will be absolutely perfect for Mum and is amazingly light and airy considering the amount of heavy brick/besa blocks and stone that was used to build it. It's also the largest house we've looked at so we'll actually have space, the cavies will be INDOORS I can take my entire collection of fish tanks up as well. However even with all our furniture we'll need to buy more, a LOT more. Our single lounge and two arm chairs will look totally ridiculous LOL.
We'll need to build in veggie gardens and a chook coop and run as well. The previous owner though he clearly loved the scenery was not one for such things. But there is plenty of space for them as well as a proper aviary for cavies.
So.... Assuming the building inspection goes well I'm putting 'official' orders in for cavies the minute contracts are signed coz I cannot wait to get out of here. We could be in our own house by Mid November.........
