Your first observation on DIY renovations for old homes not being for the faint of heart is spot in, in fact that entire paragraph should be a mandatory disclaimer on any renovation web site! I also like the quiet you sometimes find in slightly out of the way places, probably due to growing up on a farm. We had a sleep over with the kids for one night recently at the new house before we started doing the first urgently needed renovation (bathroom), and when the kids were in bed we were sitting out the back listening to the silence, when we realized that you could actually hear the waves crashing on the beach. This was a bonus as we didn't think we were close enough to hear it when we bought the place. Ours is more sea change than tree change, but it is well worth the time, effort and hard work. People should follow their dreams - like the old NT tourism advertisement used to say - "You'll never never know, if you never never go"!<br /><br />Cheers, ColKate and Colhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06030828314929884759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633066708385692057.post-85953837269474139212014-02-19T13:22:32.929-08:002014-02-19T13:22:32.929-08:00Thanks Chris.

I did actually have a point in there about the high cost of living - fuel and car maintenance, the travel time to buy basic things, the cost of maintaining ride on mowers etc. But then I decided we probably spent less money now on buying things on impulse at the shops, or on eating out, so I figured it probably evened out for us. It is definitely something to be wary of though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305924750586655358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633066708385692057.post-9545766772382811382014-02-19T01:30:55.260-08:002014-02-19T01:30:55.260-08:00I'd love to know when the study was made - lik...I'd love to know when the study was made - like how long after the black Saturday bush fires? Victoria has had some terrible weather extremes over the past decade and its any wonder that such a high percentage of tree-changers wanted to live in a more hospitable environment.<br /><br />What I will say about moving to a tree-change lifestyle, is that you can seriously underestimate how much it will cost. Transport costs more, because cars need repairing sooner for longer distances traveled. You will also have to manage your own water and septic supply, which isn't cheap either. But then in a more urban situation, you're paying higher rates and mortgages/rents, so there's no real difference. To the novice however, they may believe its going to be cheaper living in the country. In some ways it can be, in others, it costs just the same - just depends how quickly you wish to progress.<br /><br />I thought it was an excellent summary. While we had a new house built (so not quite the same thing) we had to do a lot of our landscaping and earthworks ourselves. Materials add up and there's very little money after a few projects roll out. I liked the idea of sticking to a budget, yet our projects are notorious to being longer and more expensive than we originally planned.
