Friday, July 10th

The agent who's selling our house turned up yesterday with the buyer and one of his mates who is a builder.  If we had known they were coming, we would have cleared out but the agent apparently forgot to ring us.   No matter, it was good to meet the young fellow and to hear how excited he is with his new challenge.

He brought the builder along to advise him on how would be the best way to extend by adding another bedroom or two.  We had always said we build on to the back of the house, to make it more of a square shape, but the builder said he would recommend driving a corridor through the existing toilet and build on the back, adding two bedrooms and a full-size bathroom.  We're pleased he was complimentary about the quality of the existing building and that it was very suitable for extending.

The young fellow already owns (or is buying) a house in Launceston and is using the equity in that property to help him buy this one.  He intends to live here and rent the other.

We can feel that D-day is not far away and can't wait to start packing.  We've already cleared the shed of all our junk and the house will be a doddle compared to that task.
