Catch Up
Late summer, fall and winter were busy times. First, we were "slave labor" for friends building a house just outside of Paisley (north of Hanover). Actually, we volunteered our services and had a great time helping out. Our friends had a contractor put up the structure, finish the outside and drywall. They took on the tasks of wiring, finishing the plumbing and pretty much finishing the interior of the house. When we left just after Christmas they had moved into a couple of rooms in the basement "camping style".
Second, we went house hunting. I spent a lot of time browsing MLS looking for the "perfect house" and found it in Walkerton. The drinking water is most likely the best in Ontario. Walkerton is approximately 10 km west of Hanover, about an hour due north of Waterloo.
Third, we moved. After two long days of moving I was having trouble believing that we had actually gotten rid of a lot of things and I know we did. I get the shakes imaging what it would have been like to move everything we had in the Mountsberg house.

We have a big driveway --- the trailer, car and truck all fit with room for a visitor as well.
The first purchase for the house was a spa --- we had really missed the hot tub. Getting to sit in it is a nice reward after shovelling snow.
