Well, what a month it it has been. [wipes sweat from brow].

We have purchased a house, we have moved (into afore mentioned house), attended a convention, and changed various technology in the process.

The house, as seems to be the way with new house purchases, has come with some surprises. For example:

• There are a couple of places where there are multi-boards plastered into the walls. We didn't notice these when we were viewing the house (because there were appliances in front of them) and it was not noted in the survey either (probably for the same reason).
• There is some pipe work the runs outside the house that dog legs around a down-pipe, and isn't supported by anything - it is actually propped up on bricks.
• Stuff like that.

But, we now own a house. Go us.
