Hey

I hear ya...!
I grew up in a renovate and move family :D
My wife on the other hand, not so... She always told me that she would never
live in a house undergoing renovation...

So when we got our first house together, we built! That came with some minor
headaches, but nothing we couldn't handle...

We just sold our house after living in it for seven and a half years and are
moving into a smaller cottage on 1.5 acres of matured cottage gardens...

The house is probably 80+ years old, needs to be re-stumped, raised higher up
to allow water & air to pass under it, needs to get a new roof in the next
5-10 years, and that's the major ticket items...

There are many many smaller projects that will also need to happen...
Renovate laundry, toilet, entrance, re-do the electrical, new decking, etc.

Going from fibre to the premises to fixed wireless (private, not NBN) - gonna
be a challenge - as a preparation - I relocated all my essential services
(Exchange, file server, BBS, NextCloud, etc) to a private datacentre on my
own hardware under my control (because I'm like that)... So when I move, the
disconnection of services won't prevent my critical systems from functioning.

I'm looking forward to the new place, we plan on doing a food forest,
becoming beekeepers, getting quad bikes for the daughters to learn to ride in
the scrub, etc. 

Lots of stuff already undertaken to get the process going and so much more to
do... I have a constant headache just from all the paperwork and trying to
get & keep everything lined up!

Like I did in our current house, will need to get Ethernet, home theater
cabling, mounted WiFi APs, security cameras, etc all mounted at the next
house! I will do as much as I can myself like I did here, but due to time
limits, I might need to employ some help locally too...

Life knows no limits!
