Twenty five years is a long time living in one house. So many good memories, family gatherings, picnics with the kids on the deck, Christmas, crazy halloween parties! It was a good house filled with family, friends and lots of love.
Sad to see it go but it will be a great home for the new young family to enjoy and build memories in too.
The move is not far away now, we are renting a sea can from Big Steel Box, it’s arriving Friday Sept 22nd (next weekend) and will be picked up again Monday Sept 25th. We have to be ready with everything packed and all the loose ends tied off! Jim and I are working frantically to accomplish this.
One of the things which we needed to do is take the Harley out to storage. It’s too late for Jim to ride it out to the island (we don’t have enough time and there is already snow in the mountains in BC) so we need to store it in Saskatchewan until next summer.
On Wednesday we took the bike out to our storage unit in Lumsden. On the way decided to take in the fall views and stop by Lincoln Gardens Farmers Market. Checking out the market is something we have done in the fall for years and we won’t get much opportunity to do it again before we leave for the coast. As usual it was a lovely day!
We picked up a few veggies and then on to the storage unit. I will miss this for sure. A nice day and now Jim’s bike is tucked in for the winter.
Anyone who has been at our house on Maple Wood knows that our fireplace was always pretty “plain Jane”. When we had the house built we needed to cut costs, so the fireplace was never really finished the way we had planned. Now this is kind of a good and bad scenario.
The bad – we never were able to enjoy a finished fireplace 😦
The good – finishing it now has allowed us to update to a more contemporary look. 🙂
Thanks again to Andre and Jim for a job well done. I could not have wished for a more beautiful finished project and we are now very close to the end of our renos. We just need to do some: painting and baseboard work in the master bedroom, outside yard clean up, finishing up with some odds and ends and a major clean up (including a purge). We are almost there!

Working hard to get the “Regina” house ready for sale! Andre and Jim tackled the big job of refinishing the carpeted stairs with wood. Gone are the white spindles; replaced by wrought iron and maple and it looks beautiful! The guys did an amazing job!
A year or more out from our anticipated move and we are working on getting the house ready for sale. Started with the kitchen.

(Six to eight weeks without a kitchen is a long time!)

Thanks to Andre Longtin and of course Jim for getting this massive job done. It looks amazing! (Nikki likes it too)
