House cleaning

Keeping your home clean and organised is essential if you're going to enjoy living there. Unfortunately, your home isn’t going to stay clean alone, no matter how careful you are.

I got a waffle

abrahamKim 's changes to the Adagia site have made it a little more compact and a lot cleaner. It has taken me a few days to get used to the new navigation, but now I like it. There appears to be no loss...

Rogue tenants

Today, I got a call from the managing agent regarding my investment property in Far North Queensland. It appears that my former tenant and the new tenant had both gone a little rogue.

The former tenant broke their lease and lost one of their cats when moving out of the house....

Hiking to Falls Creek

It is a busy day at Falls Creek today. Not only is it the annual Peaks Challenge bike race, but the hikers were also planning to head off on another day of trekking.
