The Joys of Looking Young

Such a funny story that I had to share with you all.
So yesterday I had a solicitor come from some kindof environmental thing. I'm not sure cuz we never did get there. But anyway, she rang our doorbell and I opened the door. She asks right away, "Is your parents home?" and I say no. So she tells me, "Oh, I'll come back later than", I say sure, bye! And that was the end of it. I wasn't lying, just being honest. This is not the first time it has happen, but each time I get quite the kick out of it.
Bye Bye Suckers!

Spring Sprung

I'm so happy that our Spring is looking promising. You know what they say, "April Showers brings May Flowers".

I'm reading through my gardening books and deciding what I would like to plant around our house this year. However, I'm not entirely sure if I'll even get a garden this year. With the amount of work that needs to happen inside and out, I'm thinking that nothing is going to survive.

As most of you know, I love plants and trees so I'm visualizing what one day our garden will look like, but also visualizing the amount of hard labour with it. That I'm not looking forward too.

This house however is going to be much harder to plan than our first home. Our front yard faces West which provides tones of sunlight, but then our back faces East which only gets morning sunlight, that's the hard part. All the plants I like require full sun which means I need to research more to figure out our backyard.

Any suggestions?

Back to the Drawing Board

Well, we finally got our quote back from our contractor for the basement. And it wasn't what we were expecting; it was a little bit too much of a surprise! The cost jumped tremendously from his estimated cost that now, we are rethinking what we are going to do. I don't think our basement will be completed this year anymore. Sounds like Wackie just wants to contract out the bathroom, windows and the stairs insulation, which means we are on our own for insulation, drywall, flooring, painting, doors... and the list goes on. I guess it was truly too good to be true. Let the stress continue...
