  1. I was told that women were like shoes and keep trying different ones on till you found a comfy pair. The one I married was a loafer lol. It didn't take too long before I was looking for a new pair of shoes
  2. We bought a new to us (2016) trailer today to put stuff in to get the house ready for pics to list.
  3. They should go after bicycles seeing as they share the road,have bicycle lanes etc. Bicycles used to have a plate at one time. It's time they paid their way
  4. The saga continues with my house building plans. We spent a week in Nova Scotia to see about building materials etc and talking to the builder. We started off with one model that has doubled in price, looked at another and realized we'd have to spend more to build a garage and the 3rd one has gone up significantly. We are waiting for a quote from the builder for a turnkey build . He won't be able to start till next spring and hopefully material costs come down a bit by then.
  5. He's going to a Liberal fundraiser

    I'm hoping! The original kit I looked at has doubled in price. The 2nd choice just jumped $56K and the 3rd choice the price didn't change and they might've not updated that one yet. I'll find out on Monday when I talk to them. I was hoping to take advantage of the market here.

    Cocksuckers! I looked at the kit prices on Monday and just checked again today as we're heading down east in the morning. The price just jumped up $56K. I'm definately not locking in yet.

    We're heading down next weekend and meeting with Home Hardware building center to see about the building kit and a contractor. It probably won't get started till fall and hopefully the price of the material comes down a bit. It went up $70K then down by $30K and back up $13K. I'll lock in as soon as I see it back down a bit.

    I'll find out when it comes to getting a building permit how they are there. We had 2 hydro poles installed and hooked up with no problem to our lot.

    The prices are generally higher down east than Ont.
  16. I've gone to the store by sled and sxs lol. There's 52 (2 acre) lots here in the subdivision and close to 30 that have houses on them. One guy owns 4 or 5 and he'll cash out eventually as they're going for $200K on average. I kick myself in the ass for not acting fast enough 2-3 years when a lot came up for sale for $64K. I bought a lot last year in Nova Scotia for $46K and the lot beside me was going for $40K. The guy called 2 weeks ago and asked if I wanted 1st dibs on it for $79K. I don't thinkso.
  17. What I think is bullshit is anything that happened after WW2.
  18. If you knew what I'm thinking you'd be an accomplice lol.
  19. We are in a quiet little subdivision that most people don't even know it exists. We are 10 min to a grocery, liquor/beer store, smokeshop, fish n chip joint, post office and Chinese restaurant. If we need anything else were 20-30 min away from 3-4 towns and never any traffic. It's not for everyone but we love it.
  20. My wife orders from Amazon and the couriers know her by name lol. We drive almost an hour every 3-4 weeks and she does a shopping day to various stores that aren't around here
