Just Bought a New Condo

Picture of the lobby. Pictures on the left in the slide show are of Lake Bannook in Dartmouth.




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.

And that's DOWNsizing ???

Looks great, OT. Really great !

Though I did love your old lounge - what I could see through the webcam.

Trubes said...

Way to go Tarf , it sounds wonderful , by the water and the shops :-)

Kevin- as one gets older you realize you do not need a lot of stuff anymore.

Trubes- we hope so as well.

Daisy- it will be nice to be by the water.

Beast-also walking distance to the Liquor Store.

Your condo looks lovely and in a great location, OT. We are loving the snow here in Blighty - it's a rare treat for those with little ones. Have you seen Blue's pics? London is so pretty. Can't compete with the weather in Canada though - Raincoaster reported moose in her front yard I think. I hope you take pics of the canoe races.

Hey daddy! Good for you - you bought it! Now you can have fun getting it ready so you can sell it again! I calculate you have had now nine homes in 20 years. Look forward to visiting you xxx

Phillipa- I saw the photos and it did look pretty. We have 4 ft snow drifts in places and ice covered roads the snow is so high that it is hard to see over the tops of the snow piles when you are in your car.
We have the world canoe championships coming to lake bannook this year I think as well as the tall ships in halifax harbor in july.

Lilith- we hope so as well. thank you for your good wishes. I hope everyone at chez nous is doing well and healthy. I expect that Pig is thrilled with the snow.

Mermaid- owned 6 rented 2 in 20 years. i guess the two trailers count as well so that makes 10. Hope to see you very soon. Miss you.

Thud- not sure about the good life but a comfortable life. Good life would be in cuba drinking pina coladas all day in the sun.

Sweet cheeks- it will be after we fix her up a little. It is in a great location and G and I really like it.

Wow! So huge. You are so lucky.

I hope it all goes through smoothly. I would love to have something so spacious for my boys.

Why are there bricks inside like that?

The Old Tarf said...

RB- that is the picture of the actual lobby. The condo is a 1br i just wanted to show an interior picture. You are not any where near the fires that are burning in Aussie at present?

Mutley- the building is 30 years young and that was the style. It is the front reception area once you come in the main front door of the building on the way to the elevator.

No, luckily we are well away from the fires - so very scary. We are in Perth on the West coast.

The Old Tarf said...

Sweet Cheeks- thank you for your invite i sent an email to you.

RB- Glad to hear that you and your family are quite safe.
