Hmmmm, well not exactly a boat - more like a barn, and quite a lot longer than 6 months! Lol. We've had our fair share of dramas with this weather bomb! Dave was at work on the first Saturday of the crazy weather when I realised that there seemed to be a lot of water inside. The floor was wet, the table was wet, the dresser was wet... I looked up and saw that an entire join in our roof was wet! I couldn't find a bucket, so put measuring jugs and mixing bowls and anything else I could find out to catch the drips. One of the ones in the bedroom was the worst! The measuring jug was half full in an hour and a half!! I texted Dave and told him not to panic but to bring home as many buckets as he could find :) Once he was home, things were looking much prettier - we had matching red buckets stationed throughout our living quarters!
The road to get to our house from State Highway 16 was underwater for a couple of days. Check out the photo! Fortunately that's not our only way to get to civilisation - yay for back roads!! It was quite amusing when we had visitors coming up to visit in the rain, texting that they couldn't get past the flood!
On another note... we have final plans and contracts for our house! It'll be feeling real soon... probably more so once we've handed over the first payment lol! We've got to actually read them though, so far we've only looked at the pictures! Then we'll get a lawyer to look over them before we sign. Hopefully we'll have a house not too far away from Christmas. Ideally it will be finished while I'm still on school holidays (just to make moving easier) but we're not going to stress if that's not the case.
We've booked our holiday to Australia and are very excited about this! We leave here in the early hours in the morning of Friday 26 September. We have to be at the airport at 3.50am so it'll be a VERY early start for us. I'm so excited I'm crossing off the days on the calendar!! 52 days to go!
