The new place is free from flooding, bushfires, high winds, mice, rats, millipedes, dust, cows, spiders & (hopefully) burglars! And only 15mins from home vs 45mins with the old place. NBN vs almost zero mobile coverage. All huge positives apart from the much higher cost....

Correct! The clock is now ticking. Unless things go well in the next 2 years I’ll be selling 98% of my collection! If things do go well I’ll be buying my own factory....
