Hello folks!
We've arrived!!!! And couldn't be happier!
Feeling a bit scattered cos everywhere you look there's something you need to do! It's such a huge project this one and around a hundred different things to do at once...they left the place a mess, huge piles of crap everywhere (think in terms of around 20 trailer loads to the tip), filthy windows and shelves and carpets. They did clean the kitchen though...I was grateful for that. First thing we did the afternoon we arrived was rip the carpet out of the main bedroom and vacum 30 years of dust away...I'd much rather have clean concrete than god knows what in that carpet!!!...and ofcourse there was no water at all!!!, the previous tenants having ran the tanks dry......but at least we had Nev the water guy come yesterday so we joyfully showered three days of dirt away..ahhhhh...
It's WILD here...really...the sounds of the birds, frogs, crickets, wind in the trees....all so refreshing after the 'metropolis' of Suffolk Park...Curt trod on a snake the day we arrived...the snake kindly slithered away without biting!...and there was even howling on the night we moved in, the night of the full moon...sounded like human wolves...yes, really. And some strange two legged creature walking on the roof every night! Ahhhh...but we LOVE it here. We both feel like we're really home. Beyond the piles of crap made by humans...it's so beautiful everywhere you look, breath takingly so...sink, sink, sinking into the womb of mother nature. And so private. Curt's having a wonderful time wangling his willy in the breeze!
Curt's truly in his element! He happily fixed the water pump and the toilet yesterday...and started painting floors. Today we burn curtains, clean windows and paint more floors. Then we can unpack more boxes and move them into the studio...
Can feel this whipping into shape already!
FUN!
