The New Home

Poppy made herself at home right away - checked out the interior and the yard in pretty short time and then lay down and had a sleep on the tiles. Oh to be a dog - sleep on cue.

The furniture arrived first thing Friday - and the consistent comment was these boxes say Bedroom 1 / Bedroom 2 - where are the rest of the Bedrooms contents - because surely this much stuff cannot come from a 2 bedroom house!

Surprised me a bit as I thought we were fairly minimal in our living - BUT the thing that rapidly became apparent was that Newtown had much more storage than this 4 bedroom behemeath.

We had 2 to 3 times more space - all the bedrooms had built ins - but the cupboards were poorly designed and the shelving ws only 6-7 foot high - not 11 ft as in Newtown.

A quick trip to Bunnings gave us some shelving for the garage - and eventually we found a place for most of our stuff.

The only casualty from the move was the leg of Michelle's piano - but even that was mostly cosmetic.
