Things are falling into place for the Condo

Well it will not be long before we take possession of our new condo on Monday. Went and met with the Contractor yesterday and everything is a go with him. We will be changing the kitchen and bathroom, doors , closets and putting in baseboards and crown moulding through the place. Had to remeasure the appliances and found to our dismay that the fridge we had ordered was 6 inches bigger than the space we have in the kitchen. So instead of black appliances we are putting in white now and ordered them from Sears and we saved over 300.00.

Well G. was with me yesterday and it was a good thing as we had to go to several places pricing and ordering things. So I guess I will not be in too much trouble as of yet. Got the approvals for the Flooring . Got approval from the landlord that we can move out of here by the 6th March. Spoke to the mermaid last night. She is off to Cuba for the hike of a life time. Everything is going swimmingly with her in london at present.

I am losing my voice for some reason. I guess I have been on the phone gassing to our friends and sale business to much. It is a mixed blessing for G. I guess.. The other Trailer up at the camp is now sold and now the hard work begins to move out our stuff. I am off tomorrow while the weather is good to sort stuff out and get a few of folk art pictures to put on consignment and some of our Indian Art work at the Black Sheep Gallery.

Waiting to hear from the lawyer on how much we have to bring him to close the Condo. The Bank account will be depleted by the time this week is over, Oh well it is only money. Tried to get into the Storage locker at the new home yesterday but the key didn't work. We feel sorry for the Real Estate agent who found out where the locker was and then couldn't show it. At least we have one which is something we didn't know when we bought the unit in the first place. Added bonus.

The Apartment is filling up with lights, locks and other bits for the new place, starting too trip over the extra stuff. Not long
now. It will get even more hectic next week. Gorden will be over to help with the electrics trying to get that stuff done Monday before the work and the fun begins. John is coming in on the 2 march to get the old appliances in the morning before the new ones show up in the afternoon. Then once this work is done on the condo, the Trailer up at the camp will be worked on during our annual fishing trip with Frank and the boys in early May. In between Beer and Shooters.LOL
Do not know how much will be accomplished but it is so good to have time with the guys and burn what few brain cells are still going.

The weather continues to be very cold and another storm coming in on thursday so it makes driving long distances dangerous and road conditions are so bad. Well it is time for me to get supper on the go as the Boss will be home soon from work.

Till next time.

Sale on the Condo Continues

Well everything is progressing well on the condo front. Went to have another look at the place with a chap from Taylors Flooring to give us a quote to rip up the carpet and put down Laminate or Engineered Hardwood and Tile in the entrance way.

Also had a couple of handyman friends come over at the same time to give me some advice as what we can do and how it can be done.

The request for approval for the Flooring has gone in and all things being equal hope to have approval so we can start the floors on the 24th of Feb. The Contractor is coming over on Monday at 1pm and show him what we want done. It is a little dangerous on my part as G has been at work these few times and I do not want to get something wrong. So I am hoping G is with me on Monday to ensure we are on the right track.( I do want to stay married)

I am meeting with the Movers today and as per our agreement, they will pack and move everything this time. The Moving company knows us by first name basis as we have used them so often and they only shifted us less than a month ago. We would like to be out of here on the 6th of March. So here's trusting that all things will come together and we can be in and unpack that weekend.

The poor cat will be terrified again and very confused so we are going to have her stay a few days with Gorden and Judy while we are in a complete state of Chaos. ( Seems like we are always in some sort of Organized Chaos). Now if only I could figure out how to use Html in my Postings any suggestions out there). Have a car load of things to take out to the Camp. Good thing we have some other place to dump stuff for now. Here is a picture of our new RV. It is a 37 foot Layton with a slide out and 2 bedrooms. Plenty of room for visitors, hint,hint.




Well tomorrow is Valentines Day, I already got some flowers for G. as she wasn't feeling that great this week. Planning on going out to a fancy restaurant tomorrow night and on Sunday going to see the New Pink Panther movie with Steve Martin. ( not the same without Peter Sellers) but still funny. It will be 26 years tomorrow that we first met and last year at this time we renewed our Vows with 96 other couples live on the Radio. I will put a link to that post for you. So have a great weekend , Stay Safe, those of you on Holidays in far off corners of the Globe, enjoy.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Just Bought a New Condo

We just bought a new 1br Condo today in Dartmouth on the shores of Lake Bannook.

We have been looking for a while it is in a very good location near MIc Mac mall. That means, Dear Mermaid you can walk to all the shoe stores and shop till you drop. G and I, we can continue our walks around the Lake go fishing and canoeing right from the back yard of the building and G could walk to work on good days.

We close in 2 weeks and plan on getting the place spruced up before we move in in March sometime. So we are on the move again.
