Celia and I have decided to downsize
So I am in the middle of decluttering and repairing the house. Some of the things needed were a bit mind blowing, but the builder Marko,(son in law of friend Jo) when I showed him the two major problems (The gap between the wooden house and the single brick wall, and the rotted Pergola joint) he said Yes OK ! and added them to the list!

I have a file of before pics as well, will take the afters. I had to do a big clear out when I had the floors and fires and stumps down a few years go but still have so much clutter!!! And I can't just blame Celia as she has been away for 10 years!
But I had list of emails and pics sent saying 'Do you want this?' and I even threw out all her snow domes (lots taken from the nature strip!) Turns out it was not as brave as I thought as she has dozens more in NY!!
But nothing I have put out has not been taken, so will have less to get rid of after the sale.
We are looking for a 2-3 bedroom (study) Unit Townhouse Villa in the close West. West Footscray Altona seem to be the best options
We have been following the House Staging bible so that means packing up bookshelves and other surfaces. I am now on first name terms with the guy at Savers (recycle store) (Dale) and the rubbish collections, both recycle rubbish and green waste have been full each week.

I had done the bungalow up as a work room for Celia (and me) and now she won't get to use it. But it was pointed out What if I had to do all that work as well!
