wow what a mess to begin with.
how come you have differnt pics of the same kitchen or are they before an afters?? On the realtor's website theres a grenishblue and white kitchen then the same kitchen with wooden cabinets??? It looks nicer with the white modern cabinets...

oh and is that a grass driveway??? If you pave it ... that would be nicer...

otherwise nice house :]

yeah, you might want to hang onto it for awhile. The market till take a nose dive, I'm sure.

Over here on the West Coast it's just starting to slow down. Toronto is being hit hard.
our dollar dropped and then we can start talking about politics......

Hows the car? BTW

well, i was just talking to my wife on the phone, and she says that the housing market is down about 30% right now, but prjections are that itll only be down 10% in the new year....so im keeping my fingers crossed that i can get outta dodge!

the problem with the larger cities like toronto and vancouver (esp. TO) is that there was a HUGE markup in housing on percepted value. i had a friend buy a house in oakville for 280 and now, a year later, he can sell for 330.....like 50k in a year? c'mon.

we never really saw that kind of crazy inflation in the maritimes, its always been steady....

and as for the hardwood, the living room, dining room and front foyer were already there in red oak. i did the hallway leading to the bedroom and all 3 bedroom in red oak myself....

ya, it was a bit of fixer-upper, lol.

we have a granny suite/inlaw suite in the basement (essentially a 1bedroom apartment) so thats why there our white/teal 50's kitchen upstairs and the other kitchen w/ wood cabinets downstairs....

and ya, the driveways.....i was going to put a garage door back on the garage in spring and get the front driveway paved this spring, but now we're moving. currently we mainly use the driveway off of the side street which is gravel (fairly compacted gravel at this point, lol)
