House things

In between the racing around we are slowly but surely getting closer to selling the house. We've signed a contract with a real estate agent for the sale, which was an interesting process - ruled out a few very quickly but ended up with a couple we would have been more than happy with, so just picked one pretty much at random. None of them seemed too bothered by our house, which is good, and all had much the same idea about what it is worth and how to sell it. I think that is a good sign, that we have a ordinary house, that people expect.

This gem came up in the school books. The main memory of Parliament House was the duck poo! Fair call, there is a lot of it.

These also appeared in a kid's room. I am not sure what they were for, hopefully not running a meth lab. I have a vague memory of an eco-science course (one child did physics and advanced maths, one most definitely did not) that involved lake water, which may have needed little tubs. Maybe.

And my husband concreted the floor of the hot water cupboard, that was just gravel and dirt. The whole laundry is very dodgy and we are going to paint over as many of the problems as possible, but thought having a floor on a cupboard was a good start. We are going to buy a shelving unit, put it in there, put our laundry powder on it and hope that the lack of light will not give anything away.
