RMweb Gold ChrisN Posted May 19, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 19, 2014 Does anybody really ENJOY moving? Though I suppose it must be quite exciting if it's your first property (I can't remember that far back!) Good luck with the move this Thursday, Andy. We really DO expect TLGP to be up-and-running by Christmas and Mike has assured me he'll be relentless in his demand for grass on your new layout! Jeff I think I enjoyed our first three moves. Well I enjoyed getting into the places and they were not too much hassle. The first was into a flat above a shop on the first day back after honeymoon. The second was into a two bedroom house about three weeks before the birth of our first son, and the third was ten years later when we moved all three sons into a four bed semi. Thinking about you on Thursday Andy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted May 19, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 19, 2014 The biggest pain for me at the moment is the sense of being in "limbo". I just want to be doing something, whether it's in the garden or bunker. The "phoney war" of sitting around waiting for something to happen isn't pleasant. And fortunately for Andy, that part ends on Thursday. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff The Limbo bit has been a pain for us too, and so I know where you and Brother Steve (makes him sound like a Monk )are coming from. After Noon on Thursday the hard work begins, by the time you get moved in I should be almost finished with my messy and hard work bit, we may even have the furniture back by then. Pickfords packed 62 boxes so god knows where they'll all go when they get delivered back to us, Oh yes I do know, in the Garage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a similar problem, but with the baseboard height I'm going to use I'll be able to store a fair amount of stuff - including a virtual duplicate set of kitchen appliances - under the boards.

Allegheny1600 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Oh yes I do know, in the Garage. Oh, noooo! Doom, DOOM, I tells yer! Eight & a half year since we moved and our garage still gets filled with junk! I can bottom it out every so often then, what do I find? Some kindly person (my good lady!) has put a couple of boxes in there "just so they're out of the way" Aargh!!! This is then followed by more 'stuff' over the next weeks til we're back at square one. Perhaps I need to keep her on a tighter leash! All the best with the move anyway, Andy! John E. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been in the phoney war stage for 5 years now, but the rolling stock is slowly growing (you never know I might actually finish one soon!). Good Luck Andy with the move, and I reckon that TLGP should be finished by September, with the first lot of grass appearing in about a fortnights time!

Andrew P Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 TO Andy G, sorry my Mouse hit the wrong button and gave you something and it wasn't the THANKS that it was supposed to be, I blame tired and worn out fingers and a very badly behaved Mouse.

Good Luck Andy with the move, and I reckon that TLGP should be finished by September, with the first lot of grass appearing in about a fortnights time! Andy G Nice to hear from you Andy. Unfortunately it's a bit difficult to do much as all the model-related gear is sealed away in boxes in the bunker, waiting for the move. Plenty of time to read and listen to music though. Hope all is well in deepest Cambridgeshire. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KL2 should be underway later this year so you'll have the chance for more input once again. Keep your spirits up! Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium uax6 Posted May 22, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 22, 2014 I'm doing what i can here in the box, don't get any time at home at the minute! I'm looking forward to KL2 starting... Andy G 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted May 24, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Just a quick progress report. Bunker/house pics in the Lounge. The site manager assures me we'll be in the house by late June. Hopefully the bunker conversion will be able to start in September. KL2 is ready to rise again!

RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted May 28, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 28, 2014 All quiet on the KL front. Scuba gear is currently being employed to move things around my garden and during a fleeting visit to the new house. Roll on "flaming" June. Ha ha ha, to quote Bodge. On the subject of which, I hope he's not being washed out in sunny Derbyshire! Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
67A Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Hi Jeff, Keep the scuba gear handy! Did you see the paper this morning............June will be a wash-out. If you can believe them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted May 29, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 29, 2014 Hi Jeff, Keep the scuba gear handy! Did you see the paper this morning............June will be a wash-out. If you can believe them. No, I don't believe them! If you monitor the local weather forecast on the internet over a 24 hour period the variation in forecast can be dramatic. Unless we're sat under a large area of high pressure. So forecasting a month ahead - pah! 30 - 40 years ago they used to try a 3 month long-range forecast..... Umm. Anyway, scuba gear cleaned and ready! Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
