Went OK....
Had to insist NO carpet (even if its an upgrade).
Double Glazing throughout (not just on the front where people can see).
The Staircase ..... We managed to get what we want (we think)
Our life has changed completely in May 2009 when we received confirmation of our permanent residency application being accepted by Victoria! Since then the move, new life and everything has gone from good to better and even better. Life is great here (even if very different from what we were used to).
