Our first night in our new house was eerily quiet and dark.
It’s located out in the country and there’s only the sound of birds at dawn and dusk.

At night, we can hear a morepork (owl).
If it’s a moonless night, it’s DARK.

In contrast, our old house was on a busy road in a city.

Our new house was owned by an older guy in poor health, which meant maintenance around the house was understandably neglected.
The roof needed cleaning, the gutters fixed up, light bulbs needed changing, etc
None of this was any big deal.

The section however, is overgrown with agapanthers and some very large privet tree’s.

Those  agapanthus are a LOT of work to remove.
Basically, you have to dig them out, leaving none of the rizhomes (big root thingy’s) behind, otherwise they grow back..   

If you are lucky, you can get a rope around them and pull them out with a car, which only works with the smaller ones.
