Well, the housing saga appears to be over. After encountering several dead ends in our housing search, we got some great news today. We'll be staying in a quirky house (of our own choosing) in the suburb of Kelburn. For those of you who know something about Wellington, that's where the cable car stops. The neighborhood is perched on the mountains surrounding Welly, so while we're only about a mile from the water it would be a pretty serious hike without the cable car. Click here to see some pics.
In addition, my parents came through big time by combining a 72-hour babysitting marathon with a home-improvement weekend. Almost everything we own has been stacked tetris-style into the basement and we'll spend the next week sleeping on a mattress and doing last minute home repairs and errands. Between the termites in our front porch, wasps in the chimney, plumbing repairs and painting, I think we'll fill the week easily.
