Storage Woes
One of the things you don't think of when you're preparing for a big move are the seasons ahead. As you might remember, it was August when we packed up our things and decided to move back home. Of course being that it was August, our closets had long been thinned out by the spring/summer edit; our warm weather clothes a distant memory, neatly boxed away and stored in the basement for the following season
The Waiting Game
It's been about a month since our last post which we know is a VERY looong time! You must be wondering what Team Dreamhouse has been up to. In all honesty
Pet cemetery!
Well folks, today is October 31st and we thought it fitting to share this little bit of news today. Apparently we've got ourselves a pet cemetery
UPDATE: The demo continues…
The demo crew has been VERY busy while we were away. With the exception of the one load bearing wall frame & the main floor bathroom, this house is gutted! Before-ish - Main floor, looking toward the bathroom Demo - Getting started Gutted! Ok, we know what you're thinking
A little break from reality…
Well we've had a fantastic trip! We cruised around the Caribbean islands of St. Thomas USVI, Barbados, St. Lucia, and St. Kitts; celebrated a 35th anniversary, celebrated a 65th birthday, spent some quality time with family and most importantly, got some MUCH needed R&R! Not bad for 8 days huh? We're just about set to fly home tomorrow, but while we've been enjoying the break from reality, you know we couldn't go on vacation and completely rid our minds of all things Dreamhouse right?!? Check out the gorgeous modern decor we came across today when we checked in to our hotel
Let the demolition begin! [Video]
After having a little fun last night, we decided to leave the rest to the professionals who came in today to get started with the real demo work. Here's a quick peek at the progress at the end of the first day. Next week we'll be blogging on vacation as we're heading out Saturday morning for a Caribbean cruise with the family. We'll check in on the demolition progress when we return.
Closing day??
Well today was closing day. Sort of. At least it was supposed to be. As it turns out, however there was an error in the mortgage paperwork that caused a delay in the final release of funds between the bank and our lawyer's office. Despite everyone's feverish attempts to rectify things, ultimately the clock just ran out before the issue could be resolved. So here we are, at end of day with no keys in hand. :-( Closing is being pushed until tomorrow and right out the gate our construction schedule is being delayed by a day
It’s GO TIME!!
We know it's been a little while since we blogged and you're probably as excited to see the plans for the Dreamhouse as we are
That’s it, that’s all!
Well it's closing day and it's with mixed emotions that we say goodbye to our first home. I actually can't believe the day has finally come. When we moved in all those years ago, I thought this would be our forever home. However things change, and certain chapters must come to an end. But I do remember looking for this house though and how excited we were. At the time, we were told by countless people to look for, and read the reviews of professionals similar to these top real estate agents in Toronto so we had the best chance of
