House For Sale

Well our house is officially for sale! I am having mixed feelings about the sale. This has been my home for the last 10 years but it is definitely time to move on. Kids are gone. Full-timing here we come!

Had to spend a lot of time getting the yard and house into shape. The winter here was really long and spring has been slow in arriving, so the yard isn't where it should be quite yet. Getting there though. I brought in a painter to repaint the second storey dormers and also the garage and main entry way. We have used him before and he has always done a great job for us. The listing hits the Internet and local papers tomorrow and we will likely have an open house this weekend. Picture quality from my cellphone wasn't the greatest unfortunately.

Chris has been very busy in Halifax. She is enjoying the visit with her daughter. She spent time straightening up her old place and retrieving some personal items. She will spend a few days visiting her parents and then return to Ottawa on the weekend.

Our motorhome is in fine shape at our storage site in Sarsfield. I am thinking of just leaving it outside instead of putting it in a quanset as we initially planned. Friends have said they stored their motorhome inside over a few months in the summer and wound up with a lot of rust on the chassis as a result. Apparently the dampness comes up from the ground unless it is stored on a concrete slab which resulted in their having to replace a fair number of hoses and clamps, etc. If any readers have any advice on inside versus outside storage, I'd be grateful if you could please share any insight in the comment area of this blog entry.

Lastly, I updated the operating system on my HTC TYTN 2 smartphone to Windows Mobile V6.1 today. It wasn't exactly a painless procedure but done now after 3 hours of installs and reboots. Technology is supposed to make our lives easier, or saw I thought.
