The Stairs to the Attic

This is the story of our adventure to Tasmania. We're only going for 10mths which may not seem like a long time, however we decided to rent the house out while we're gone...this meant we had to put our (what seemed little before) house hold into storage...the storage being in Ollie's parents attic.

Like when you think a job is going to only take 5 mins it always takes longer...the packing and moving took a long time, 3 solid days plus all the bits before that. At the same time Ollie had the yacht out of the water doing repairs and anti-fouling it - 2 big jobs at the same time!




After endless trips between Lower Hutt and Eastbourne, all our belongings are now in the Attic, and all we have left with us is what we are taking with us (well technically...we may have to put more in the Attic if there's too much for our suitcase!). Muscles are complaining from all the trips up the stairs carrying boxes, but the house is empty and sparkling clean, and the tenants started moving in today. We hope they like our little house :)

We have a week left before we leave NZ - a chance to catch up with friends and family, update CVs and line up rental properties in Tassie for viewing.
