Possession day was good. We went to the house, got the all clear and then spent time at the splash park beside the world's largest piggy Bank.
Work commenced the following day with Justin putting in a pad of stone pavers for the shed that's coming to hold all our belongings for the year. The shed package hasn't arrived yet, it was supposed to be here already, but we figure it's delayed because of the remote location. We will wait until Monday, it should be here then.
Until then, there is so much to do. Justin is going into the crawl space to check out the foundation and put some insulation in so the floor doesn't lose so much heat and so the pipes don't freeze. There's a window to replace and some faucets to re-caulk. Door knobs to change out and a screen door to fix. J will have a busy day or three doing some maintenance so I am going to occupy the girls todat and take them on a trip to Lethbridge to visit my Grandma and Aunties.
Hopefully, Justin can get a good start on the repairs and the shed shows up soon so we can get those things done, rearrange our belongings and then hit the road to Cape Breton. It's getting closer and closer, but I told J that since we aren't on a fixed deadline, we shouldn't kill ourselves trying to do things - that is, now that we are out of the house in the city and have possession of the Coleman house.
Hopeful that things go well in the next few days and that we can accomplish what we need to. I am also hoping the weather stops being SO hot... this 30 degree heat is killing us all. I am thankful for a hotelroom with AC.
