Getting closer...

Only a few more weeks and we will be in our new place.
Can't come soon enough, let me tell you.
There is so much we would like to do to make the property 'ours' but the problem is; Where do we start?!

I'm thinking a nice new workshop / Garage...Oh yeah.

Your own little piece...

Thats the drawcard. The dream.
Your own little piece of grass. Somewhere to call your own.
Fuck me, what a misnomer.

EVERY body wants a piece of your piece when it comes time to handle the money.

Take all that out of the equation and yes, buying is way more economical than renting when you factor in the end result that you own a property.
But when you look at the government bending you over and removing your hard earned for the 'right' to get into debt and purchase a property they have nothing to do with, it gets a little upsetting.



Don't even get me started on lawyers and banks etc...

This will all play a big part in who I put my vote behind in the upcoming years.

'You pay a price for every existence' I guess...

True dat.

Well, thats that...

Goodbye 2012. bring on 2013!

We will have a new house. Be back in the hood and there might even be some shaping going on!
My wonderful girl, two awesome boys and a our dog will be moving onto bigger and better things in 2013.

Its been a great ride so far...

Then again...

Well, we bought a house.
Stitched ourselves for umm, well..forever.
But there is a shed on a block of concrete in the backyard behind the pool...
I'm thinking a nice new clad workshop with a roller door. Ooh yeah..

We may get this cab off the rank again yet...

Dark times ahead...

Well...It looks increasingly like our next home will not have provision for a shaping bay.

Sad face.

I don't know when, if ever, I will be able to maul surfboard blanks in the comfort of my own home again.
That is a sad prospect.
So, if there is anyone out there reading this who may have, or know of someone who does have some shaping space available (in Sydney) to use every so often, that would be more than awesome.

My team...

What can I say?
My boys...

Actually I could say, cut that boys hair. That applies to both of us!!

* Give us a few years. I'm hoping surfing but I have a feeling its gonna be something to do with two wheels!.
