JJ don´t forget to strap on the catheter, no leaking in the new house.

Good luck my friend, I hope the workers have done a proffessional work for you.

Just enjoy your new home.

I trust that everything will work out fantastic for you JJ, enjoy it once your in.

(I have a friend who will only help pack in the couch, stereo, & beer) Once that stuff is off the truck, he's on the couch drinkin', listenin', & directing traffic. Could work for a Rolex-wearin' Kojak lookalike as well, if desired.....all the best....gha

Thanks, guys......all done!

It took just over 3 hours all up.....but we are well settled in now. I had this very friendly neighbour to help me out. The guys is like 6' 2" and must weigh around 220 with hands as large as snow shovels!!!

Zemina and his wife lent a helping hand with the lighter stuff....and between the 4 of us....a complete success!!

Yes, it certainly feels nice to be back in our own home!!

Thanks, Mireyna, I will.

Whereas my unit was ready from the inside, some paintwork and finishing touches are still pending on the outside. However, I moved in just to save another week's rent in that rented unit.

We spent 8 weeks there and that set me back by say....a brand new OMEGA SMP!!

JJ, I'm glad to see you are back home. There is nothing like laying your head down at the home base. Not to mention the flock is now back to some normalcy. Consistency is the key to a happy herd.
