Moved In (Checking In Tuesday 3 February 2026)

It took a couple of days but phew done and done 😁 moving in was Phase 1 and now's on to Phase 2 - unpacking and putting things in place. The house is a little bigger, there's running (borehole) water and there's someone else staying on the property who can help us with the yard work so those are the big positives. On the other hand though, the house gets pretty loud because it's got an asbestos roof. Not exactly great during times when you're alone in the house with all that noise going on around you haha, how the hell are you going to hear any knocking at the gate (which is maybe 100-200 metres or so away from the front door)? Wi-Fi connection is going to be a little rough here, especially mobile, because just like at the previous place my room is a couple of rooms away from where the Starlink router has been mounted outside. I thought there was a way to expand the signal range without needing to buy a better router? If you happen to know more about this please comment under this post because no work can be done without that internet access. In a perfect scenario we could've just switched to an alternative ISP but as far as I know, none of our local ISPs are in a position to effectively compete with Starlink, certainly not after years and years of charging ridiculous prices for shoddy services.

I'm hoping we'll have the essentials sorted out by the end of this week, plus getting rid of any junk and cleaning up so please bear with me during this time until I'm ready to resume. Just like when we got into the previous place there'll be some adjusting to be done, at least this time round I don't think the adjustment period will take too long. Enjoy the rest of your week and take care.
