So how are you settling in?
Got the wife a car, still hunting for myself. Landed a site manager position today, start next Wednesday. Turns out the owners wife is from Calgary, the interview was more bullshitting than business. Comes with a decent salary to start, +vehicle, gas card and phone.
Living with the in-laws has its pros and cons. Kids catching a bug really buggered us up for a week. We haven't been exposed to NZ germs so it kinda lingered, painfully.
Really starting to miss my stuff and having our own place.
Oldest boy starts soccer tomorrow, and im back to work next week will be good for us getting back into a routine.

Our stuff has arrived in NZ at 5pm today!!
Scheduled for inspection, hopefully that goes smooth and quick. Afterwards loaded onto another ship, destination Lyttleton, then trucked down to Christchurch.
Not sure I've ever missed something as much as I've missed my things and stuff!

Hahaha - ShatsBassoon @ShatsBassoon and yours truly are back in lockdown.

NZ has 1 reported community case of COVID in the whole country of 5m people.
In the coramandel to boot. Everybody and their kids head there for the weekends.
Only 3 days for us, sucks you guys got 7 days.
Off to pick up some lumber for some projects.

Our possessions were scheduled for inspection on Thursday. Probably the thing that bothers me the most.

Had a job interview tommorow evening, that'll be rescheduled.

We have clearance! 3 negative COVID-19 test results.
40 hours till boarding
What a fucking ride.
Tonight will be the first night the wife & I have slept in our own bed since June 17th. House needs a fresh coat of paint, but plenty of floor sauce and a massive yard.
Got moved in today. Beds assembled, boys have been running laps around the new pad, excited to sleep in their own beds, have their own rooms.
TV is mounted, I'm done for the day.
