All the best in your new home after your long wait to get there. I'm sure you'll soon settle in and be acting like a native. Have fun.

Ha! Did you find out how much the back taxes were before you accepted?

Well apparently it's not been on the road since 2008  but they can only go back 4 years 🤞and going by the cost of second hand vehicles over here I should be saving money ? The steering box seems to have a major leak,but hopefully that's just new seals? The road up to the rental house warrants having a landrover 😁 if any of you have any information/advice on them please pass it on 👍😎 |

Second attempt..downloaded another app..this is the best I can do so far 🤔😁? It looks a lot cleaner now..I emptied the interior from all the accumulated rubbish that the owner had stored inside..including rat poison..spent 2 days cleaning the interior to fumigate it..cleaned and painted the wheels and bumpers/trim..can't wait to drive it properly. 😁

"Settling in " isn't how I'd describe it 😁 living in the rental place which is bigger than our own house means were living out of boxes still..but we do have cupboards and bathrooms and hot water (when the boiler works 🤞😂?)
It's totally off grid which is how our place will be once finished, but a tad bit more up to date 🤞😎
