NBN Has Arrived!

As I mentioned in my last post we finally got the internet at our new home, and with the much talked about NBN.

I was really excited about this one, not just because I like the convenience of the internet but historically the NBN is a pretty significant event. As a result I was determined to be present to see it get installed.

It all went smoothly enough, but here's a little known fact - the NBN involves drilling a hole in your home's outside wall. Concequently we received information from our service provider about this to prepare us for the moment well before it was installed. It's a small price to pay to future proof our home.

Installation Begins

Once it had finished we were left with 2 really ugly and surprisingly large boxes inside. Whilst they are our connection to the outside world, it's 2013 and the age of small technology - do they really need to be that big? Thank goodness they can be tucked away in a corner:

Moving Tales

So we have moved in to our new house and we finally have internet again! Not just any internet either - we have NBN. The last 2 and a bit weeks without the internet were ok, but I have to say I really missed blogging the most.

After a stressful time packing and discovering exactly how much we own, moving day was suddenly upon us. It looked like this:

 Upon arrival, for at least a week afterward it looked like this:

I unpacked most of the boxes very quickly. There are still a few remaining but the important things we need are unpacked.

My new house has lots of storage. Including a cupboard under the stairs that everyone keeps comparing to Harry Potter. You walk to the end of the cupboard and turn left and it keeps going. It's also a great place to hide and forget about boxes.

Ever since I was a small child I've wanted a buffet and hutch. I think it comes from a rural upbringing and regularly seeing them in country homes. So now that I had space for one I could finally fulfill that wish. I found this stunning one second hand and I absolutely adore it:

Now that the boxes are clear let me show you pictures of our new home:

We couldn't resist using nails in the wall to hang pictures, and I think it gives it a much nicer homier feel. Our dining room and living room are North facing so we are already enjoying breakfast in the sun and it really warms up the house nicely.

It's so peaceful and in such a beautiful location. We have a family of ducks in the nearby pond and so many walking trails yet to be explored. I recently declared to David that I think when you buy a home your workplace should instantly give you 1 month off work (paid of course) just so you can enjoy your new home properly :)
