The Reynoldz

These are pictures of our house that we purchased last April.
It was purchased with the condition that the current tenants could stay until their lease finished 31-Jan-07.

We really liked the house so we agreed to take the house and the tenants. We found a home in the mean time that was furnished and the rent was cheaper than the tenants were paying. We figured that this gave us time to actually purchase bits and pieces for the house so we did not have to immediately scramble to furnish a house. (All of our stuff that furnished our house in the States is sitting in storage in the middle of California some place because it is too expensive to ship it all overseas.. but that is another story all together)

When we met the tenants after the sale of the house last April they had asked if it would be O.K. if they moved out the 1st of December 2006 instead of end of January 2007 . This was perfect for us, because the furnished house we rented was only available until December.

Well after many attempts at trying to contact our tenants they finally just emailed us this week (44 days away from Dec 1st to be exact) stating that they were not going to move until 31-Jan-07. (must be a good house to live in =)

Ughhh, So now we are scrambling to find a place that will take us short term for Dec and Jan. (sounds a lot like the situation that we were in last year at this time.. are we cursed? again another story =)

Luckily we have a few leads on short term leases so we are not really panicking yet.. (apparently many KIWIs like to travel during the summer holidays so we may be able to housesit.)

We also decided to do the KIWI thing and take advantage of our holiday homelessness. We just booked a holiday to the New Zealand South Island! The Interisland ferry will be leaving Wellintion 23-Dec-06 and returning 7-Jan-07.

Now we just have to find a place to live from the beginning of Dec and the end of Jan.. =)
WOO HOO
