So an extension of the logic is that when you stay in Benalla the house gets better? There's no escaping the mainrptenance issue...
We arrived home yesterday to find an Auction notice on the house next door (28 April). It needs a LOT more maintenance than yours, but one advantage is that the block is large enough to build another residence behind the existing stone cottage...
I knew about that house sale already. Saw it in Realestate.com, but thought the same as you and also thought you might think l was stalking if l moved in next door :)
But would make travel arrangements and training plans easier.:-))
Better you than some other possibilities.
that's damning with faint praise.
