Removing the ceiling with raining rat nests 🐀☂️ Trying to get jobs done with the kids in tow is slow going but they are having the best time!

The house boat renovation has officially begun!

Finally a successful kitten capture! Attempt number 3, we got there in the end.
We really enjoyed the week they were here, coming out multiple times a day to feed them and watching them slowly becoming a little more tame.
Hoping they all found a loving home. If you know where any of them ended up we would love to hear a follow up on how they’re going 🤍
Now we can finally make a start on the house boat restoration journey!

Did anyone hear this segment about our house boat on our local TRFM radio station the other day?

The moment we realised we’d actually bought 3 kittens and a house boat… 🫣

DELIVERY DAY!!! This was epic on every level, actually getting the house boat here and off the truck was such a relief.
The logistics of transporting this 465km via road from interstate was a daunting process. Did anyone see this on the road?
A massive thanks to Frank Morgan Transport and A1 Crane Hire for their help and ease in making this happen for us.
Now for the real fun to begin…
