Where on the island? We were originally looking there, but got priced out while we dragged our feet.
I've basically finished......finally. Got a couple weekends of packing up, cleaning up and renting out the joint. I'm hoping Easter weekend is the last i have to be down that way for a while. It is about 2 hours away from home. So once i'm done, i will have my weekends back and won't have any need to venture down that way for a long time.....sick of the drive!
I know the feeling... getting to know the Bass Hwy far too well!
We were lucky re price. Although the Island wasn't too affected by the downturn, we stumbled across a place in Cowes... 8 min walk to the beach and less to the IGA, Mitre 10 and other shops/servos. Worst house in the street... shocker from the street and I reckon most folks didn't even go inside! Not a typical holiday house as was architect designed so bones were good/huge kitchen/open plan - I had to do the lot from top to bottom, inside and out. Had to get electricians and plumbers from time to time for legal work, other than that I ruined my back doing most myself -painting/building fences/gates bla bla bla.
Maybe one w/e before Easter we'll all catch up at Tooradin to watch a game at the pub. By then we might have some bog rolls on the Island! None to be found... just as well Mrs Baggers is interstate for a couple of weeks! We intend to move later in the year after flogging this place.
