Address Mess, part 2

Well, everyone but the town council agrees on our address...
they appear unwilling to budge. They said that they would need a request from the owner.
He did that this morning.

They said that we could move the mail box... ok it's a 3 ft. wide x 15 in. deep x 38 in. high, brick gizzy w/the mail box inserted in the center of it. and it's on a concrete pad...
not likely that anyone is going to agree to moving it.

So, despite the fact that the developer, the builder, the owner and Australia post all agree, the city gets to overrule them all. Hopefully the letter from the owner will help.

This is all just dumbass.

Easter

Easter has come and gone, even though today is Easter Monday and considered a holiday, so nothing is open again today...

We had an Easter supper at Derek and Darcie's house on Saturday eve that was very nice.

I cooked yesterday and we had a quiet dinner w/just the 2 of us. Frank is having exactly what we had last night in his lunch today, as we had way too many leftovers! He did take yesterday off and took advantage of it by sleeping in!!!

The weather's yucky... cloudy and damp... no real rain today but it's due in later. cool enough for jeans and a hoodie. I also dusted off a pair of socks! not my favorite weather.

Many discussions later...

They (county and post office) have determined that we are in fact, St. Andrew's Chase
Now, what house number on St. Andrew's Chase is still to be determined. 2 is right beside us, then 4, 6, etc. odd coming back the other side of the street... So the lady suggested 2A, I thought that sounded like a mobile home...I suggested double 0...

Apparenty when they layed out the addition, the intention was to build the house toward Glen Eagles. I am not sure why anyone would do that, when if you face it toward St. Andrew's it faces the fairway on the golf club. BUT, the one across Glen Eagles from us does face Glen Eagles, not the golf club...their patio does face the golf club, BUT there is a 6' fence, so it doesn't matter.

Our "postie" had our mail, but could not find the house. SHOCKER.
oh well, still waiting to hear the final word on what our house number will be and for the owner's to visit, as they built this house w/o ever seeing it!

Address Mess

When we moved, the leasing agent told us that our new address is 18 Glen Eagles Drive.
I paid $66 to have our mail transferred to that address. Now we find out, that actually, our address is 18 St. Andrews Chase. We are on the corner of the 2 streets, but face St. Andrews.
The builder believes that our address is St. Andrews. The city believes that our address is Glen Eagles...
In the mean time, we are getting NO mail at all. Basically the leasing agent told me that it's my responsibility to straighten this out. Excuse me? I'm not the builder, I'm not the home owner... like the city is going to listen to me.
If the address is St. Andrews Chase, do I have to pay another $66 to move the mail again?
And where is our mail from the past 2 weeks? We are not even getting the flyers that arrive twice weekly. No one knows that we are here.
and of course, EVERYTHING is closed Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday for Easter!

That even the church has florescent light bulbs! Somehow, that just doesn't seem right!

Thursday morning
















It's Thursday morning here. The weather is iffy at best. It is extremely windy and raining off and on, plus the power and internet have been out. One of the bright spots in my day was this lovely rainbow...
