Basement X

Our office jerk was bugging me a lot that day, tomorrow will probably be equally "I wish I could start you on fire-erific". Good news is, my house has both power and now water! It took awhile to get the water turned on seeing as the switch to the town supply was under a pile of snow. Official move i...

These are the days...

I wish I could light people on fire with my mind. :-P

Congratulations and a pre-emptive "Welcome to the daily grind."

Merci beaucoup!

Thanks guys! Amendment: After the inspection, I put in a revised offer of $45,000 (to cover costs of doing some fixin' in the house) which was also accepted. The fix-ups aren't too major and most of them can wait until spring. I've already gotten quotes on what materials would cost and secured some ...

That is all of Canada. And 50K? Wow, just wow. That is so fucking cheap, considering you are only one province over. Is their a garage? What is the population of the town you will be living in? There's a car port, not a "true" garage. It's enough to keep the snow/frost off my car. As of 2006, the p...

Happy probably-belated-by-now Birthday!

Bisc, is that design of property common where you're looking? We don't really have that type of design in Britain. Seems more of a US and Canada look. And just for the sake of comparison, guess what you can get for 60,000 US or CAD in London? Nothing! Not even a one bed place. In zone 4-6, the furt...

The French Biscuit: Soul Crusher

I like it!

Just bought:

Heroes Season 1 DVD set

Well since everyone's throwing out suggestions, I suggest something to convey royalty. Prestige. Power. Historical significance. And since almost no names from French history do that without incurring jokes and awkward looks, I suggest a name after an English king. Like Edward. Only potential drawb...

Sure thing! But remember, the big bedroom is mine.

Definitely what CC said: get the house inspected first, by someone YOU hire. The person should be completely independent and not related to you or the owners in any way. Don't let the current owners pick out the inspector or take their word on the condition of the house. Probably the biggest issue ...

Adam and I are considering buying a place in the near future... I think. (plans change on an hourly basis for us). I'm rather helpless/hopeless on the financial side of things. However, lemme remind you that when you get a place, you have it all year long. So that big, adorable backyard you might l...

That's one hell of a commute to Moosomin, but I will keep it in mind.
