Moving house...again! - SV650.org

02-09-09, 09:57 AM

After a year of living in this house we decided to move to a bigger and generally better one. However i'm going to miss my view from the bedroom and the bats flying around my garden in the evening. Still at least i'll have more space to fill up with my daughters toys

.
Thank god I didn't do much DIY, that would have been a waste lol.

what a nightmare, we have lived in our rented house for a year and I never ever ever want to move again - so stressful. moving from scotland whilst pregnant didnt help

since i have been married (10 years in Nov) i have lived in 7 houses. The house I am in at the moment we have been in for the longest so far 2 and a half years. This is due to my job and the accommodation provided but my wife has said that we will not be moving again for a long time.

I still live in the first house I bought. 25 years ago. I couldn't face having to empty the garage.

when I shifted my dad it was a nightmare. 2 lathes, milling machine, compressor, 4 post lift. and then buggering about trying to get a 3 phase in his new garage was impossible so we then had to sell them. Ok, truth is we dropped them in the garage, 6 months later he was dead and we could then sell his stuff. 3 phase problem could have been solved with an invertor.

But still got the same problem here. I would probably need an industrial shifter. Plus after all my DIY who would buy my house?

I have to say moving is one of my least fav things to do, it takes months to pack up my stuff and yet I have found I can unpack in less then a day!

boxes are great... been in my house 4 years now and cardboard boxes are still in use.

I'm in the unenviable position of having to finish all the DIY jobs I started at my gfs house so we can look at moving. So i'm building decking and fitting a bathroom suite that i'll probably never use

looking at doing the same at the minute. been in this flat for a year and so far the following has gone wrong

washing machine
boiler condemned
shower nearly caught fire from dodgy wiring
cooker broken
unexplained plague of flies
bath leaking into neighbours below

problem as always is trying to find somewhere to rent as this contract expires as we cant afford two lots of rent...
