My neighbour moved out recently, leaving an empty house next to us, with a nice garden, massive outhouse/shed thing, raised decking, pond and water fountain. The interior is nicer than ours too. What's to stop us moving our stuff in, swapping the door numbers, and taking up residence there?
I've had a good think, and we live in the perfect spot to do it. The houses aren't numbered sequentially here, so it wouldn't go 1, 3, 2. We live in a small square of 7 houses which leads onto more houses. The houses opposite are meant to have the inbetween numbers - our side is even - but it carries on round the corner a bit and gets slightly out of sync. So it wouldn't be odd for our house to have the neighbour's number.
I know someone who works as an Estate Agent, should I need to swap keys (I'd just get my neighbour to go with the company, he'd play along, he liked us!), and someone who works as a Postman (fancy delivering to my area for a week again, Goaty?). It's just the initial change where someone might notice a difference, but then again they might not. In any case, we can just say we bought it - who would know/care?
The only moral issue is that of money. But our houses are worth the same, and our neighbour wouldn't care as long as he made what he'd make selling his house. It wouldn't be like we were ripping anyone off.
I honestly can't think of anything that could stop me doing this. Can you?
(obviously I'm not going to, but it could happen, think about it douchebag)

Febreeze is dogs and fags only, mustiness is a no-go.
If only you'd taken Fabreeze.
Well I did it, but there was a musty smell so I moved everything back.
Oh well, next week another adventure!

It sounds like, however, he wants to be daring and cool, changing moving house into a game of life and death.
And I don't blame him, sounds...daring.

Monkey man, I forgot to mention last time:
If the houses are genuinely the same value you could do the whole thing legally - arrange to buy the house off them and sell yours, or even just sell yours and hand the money straight over to them, with slightly less hassle.
Might cost you a few grand in fees and stamp duty along the way, but still sounds like it could be worth it.

Going to be an OU course over 4 or 5 years, but need to get some ££ behind me to do it.
Postman means I can earn fulltime wage during the day and have my afternoons/weekends for degree.

My old flat mate used to be a post woman. She left her bag and things here when she moved out.
I might have a look and see if there's anything good there now :^)

"I get paid to get in shape rather than pay gym membership for some pseudo-gay experience of lifting things and grunting in a room with other men."
Riiight. You have some strange ideas about gyms.
The closest I get to keeping fit now is walking 30 minutes a day (used to be an hour minumum back when I was at school) and going climbing every Wednesday. No time and/or money for the gym. Plenty of weights in my room though, just too lazy to pick them up...

I can imagine how tough it must be humphing those bags around all day.
My brother was a postie temporarily for about 3 months, and I remember him coming home the first few weeks moaning about how much hard work it was, and he's the most physically fit person I know (well, did know, teh alcohol and cannabis seem to be having an effect).
