Spring has officially arrived this week, although you wouldn’t know it by looking outside. Another big snowfall hit us earlier in the week and more flurries are expected this weekend. I’m tired of shovelling my driveway but I have to keep on top of it in case we get a showing at our house.
The good news is that there appears to be some activity at our new lot, and excavation will begin on Tuesday. 110 days later we should be in our new house. Now let’s just hope we sell our current house before then

How exciting about your house and excavation… before you know it you’ll be picking colors on your wall!
I’m just about done the major guttage of our house, and I’ll post pics of the before and after.
Thanks Y&T, I think we’re done tweaking the design now. Tom Drake from Canadian Finance Blog was a tremendous help in switching us to a new theme.
We’ve actually picked all of our interior colours already…everything is done, just waiting for them to get started.
That’s exciting that you are almost done your house renovations, I bet you are turning into a regular Mike Holmes.
