Last Saturday a woman came and looked at our house to relocate to Mansfield. She thought it would be perfect to do her kinesiology and painting - she's exactly the type of person we had hoped to find; someone creative who is inspired by the character and history of the place.
By 9 am Monday morning she told the relocation company that she wanted our house and after a few days of working through the contract, it's all signed. It's hard to believe that this place will soon be chopped up, put on a truck and escorted to Mansfield.
We are thrilled that the house is being saved and will provide another family with a new home in a beautiful rural setting. Saving the demolition costs is also helpful although there will still be lots to remove later (all the substructures, roofing, guttering etc). How much do you think we will get paid for the house?
We also signed the contract for our new house this morning. That's due to start on 11 October after the relocation finishes at the end of September.
That leaves us four weeks to pack up and move to the in-laws. Does anyone need a family of five to housesit???
Great news about the house being relocated. It is so unusual and quaint. It would be nice to see it in a different setting once it is put together in Mansfield - maybe an excursion next year?
