My husband and I are thinking of moving interstate, from victoria to queensland later this year. Does anyone know of a good website, or just have good advice on this move. Eg … finding a home to rent prior to going up there … is there a good agent to help with this? And, a good removalist?
Any other advice, or suggestions on good housing areas, close to brisbane but perhaps with some acerage? We have a one year old, and sort of dont want a massive hassle when we get there. I know there will be! BUt want to minimise it a little bit. Moving is horrible.
Definately need acerage … have 4 horses to move also, forgot to say. No, to mariemlm, daycare is unimportant, as I am a stay at home mum. We understand the water shortage situation, as we are country people, thankyou for your insight.
so in brisbane? i moved up here with my mother about a 1/2 year ago
i suggest if you want acherage you try maybe manly west, there are some nice places there
as well as belmont
that is about 20 minutes from the city
the further away from the city the cheaper the rent is
at the moment the rent for a 3 bedroom house in an estate is about $400 a week
good luck 
I have BT broadband, but Talk Talk phone. Leavong area end of June need to cancell BT and Talk Talk phone line. Contacted BT ok. However cant seam to get an e-mail address to cotact Talk Talk . HELP. Once I have moved I intend to go for Talk Talk package of land line and Broadband, but need to be able to contact them first.
Try asking for information in a branch of Carphone Warehouse. Talk Talk is run by Carphone Warehouse so they should hopefully be able to help.
So, me and my guy have been together for a little over 2 years and we’ve decided to move in together.
Any good stories on moving in?
Any tips/advice?
You will learn a lot of new things about each other.. some good and some bad. You learn to work through things and to compromise. It was a positive experience for me when my husband and I moved in together before we were married. It made me realize that I could spend the rest of my life with him, and I did love him with all my heart. Do not expect it to be all roses though
I am currently employed by a small business.
THE company is a furniture removalist company with 2 employees which is me and the boss. The work has gone downhill in the last 6 months.I told him i need to find more work.I dont want to leave as i have worked with him for the last 10 years are there any grants that he can apply for that will help him keep me employed?
Unless his business includes developing or exporting agricultural goods, including food and forest product. Another exception could be the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs http://www.sba.gov/aboutsba/sbaprograms/sbir/index.html , which fund the research and development of technological innovation that meets specific government needs.
It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for starting a for-profit business.
Even SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/mostrequesteditems/CON_FAQ2.html
"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."
Nonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov – these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.
Here is a listing of federal grants for small businesses. See if there is any available for individuals for starting a business — THERE’S NONE.
http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.BROWSE_BENEF_RPT.show
Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT – Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program
Grants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women’s Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women’s business center that will train women entrepreneurs
I suggest your boss looks for other sources of funds to keep his business afloat.
I’m looking for a downloadable moving home card template
is this what you mean

I’m looking for any tips on either a house demolition or a house moving. The ranch style house was built in the 60’s. It’s dry and in good shape. I have a price for demolition and removal. It would be nice to move the house intact somewhere else. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
buy a piece of land and have the house moved
Bradenton, Florida, 3/15/08, 2:15am. Driving, saw a large orange glowing ball in the sky. It proceeded to move east, slowly descending, but moving rather quickly across the sky. After a few seconds of glowing, it moved farther away and the glow lightened and in a few minutes dissapeared completely. WHAT did we just see?
If the object moved in a straight line, and was visible for 1-5 minutes, moving west-to-east–it could be a satellite. If it flashed or glowed brightly, maybe a meteor or some object decending into the atmosphere.
It was not the space shuttle/ISS. The Bradenton schedules for those are on the link below.
we dont have much stuff…… if possible we would like to move his car too, we are going from queensland to sa. can anyone reccommend a good removalist or even cheap truck hire please thank you……
Cheap removalist’s tend to break and lose things and dont have insurance. or they can hold your furniture hostage until you pay them more money or you wont see your furniture again. so you pay them a lot more money and you get your furniture. It’s best to do what the person above Say’s and to sell your belongings and buy new thing’s when you get to your new house. You could try shopping at somewhere like Ikea for cheap furniture and gradually buy better furniture.
i would just like a rough estimate.
We are about to move and on our legal fee’s for sale and purchase came to £1410,but obviously yours might be more or less depending on who you use.
House moving is a remarkable experience. Share me your good and bad experience and what factors I have to consider before moving.
I Moved my house . The building was of 1946 construction and remains 55’ long by 34’ wide. The structure weighed some 225 tons (450,000#), roughly half a million pounds, the two story, brick veneer structure had to be moved some 165’ from its original lot to another contiguous property and raised some 20’ higher than it had been. It was under the supervision of Wolfe. They made my moving experience a memorable experience.
here is the picture of this move.
these things you have to consider before move
1. How big is your home? Generally speaking, small one-story homes will be the easiest, and therefore cheapest, to move.
2. Bigger structures are possible to move-nearly anything is-but you need to make sure that the structure is sound. It’s a big undertaking and will place a lot of strain on the floor joists and frame of the house. And if anything goes wrong in the move structurally, then the costs will be higher to make sure that the home makes the journey in one piece.
3. How far are you moving the house? What is the commute like? Is it long and straight or curvy and bumpy? Are the roads along the way wide enough to accommodate your home? Your answers will determine how involved and costly the move might be.
4. Utility companies will likely be involved, to move power lines and other public utilities out of your way as the house is being moved. Map and measure your route, determine which power lines or other hindrances will need to be moved, and then contact your local utility companies to find out how much this will cost.
5. Also, if you’re not doing the work yourself, don’t forget the contractors who will need to come in and take down the wiring, plumbing, drywall and other home systems-as well as put it all back up once the house has been moved. This includes preparing the foundation and support systems at the new site.
6. Lastly, make sure you talk with your insurance professional, as well as city representatives who can help you with permits, planning and building and insurance requirements.
