im selling my house

minks · Post by **minks** » Mon Feb 15, 2010 9:32 pm

yep after 19 years in the area I am getting out. Going to move to a brand new duplex. The kid and I are outta here. It is going to take awhile but we will have the duplex built for us, we will live together in one side and my best friend is going to live in the other side. They are lovely modern newly built duplexes and we should be getting into it in the fall. The location is a mere 5 minutes further from work but who cares us gals can car pool and we can both be closer to each other for all things including Jr Minks. I am so looking forward to a smaller place and yard and shopping and dining are closer and more trendy and upbeat than the ghetto we currently are in. Whooo hooo bring on September. (oh yes I have to give this old dump some TLC before we list it but such is life)

I am so excited I just had to share.

Good luck Minks ! How has Minks Jr taken the proposed move? Friends will be missed, unless you aren't moving that far away. But kids are so resilient, and they soon make new friends. :-6

ahhhhhhhhh congrats!:guitarist

This is exciting, a brand new complex, your best friend living there as well and just a tad difference to work!

I've always loved my small bungalow, who has the time or wants to spend cleaning?

Upkeep on the yard will be much easier for you.

trendy new area for shopping, awesome my canuck friend!:-4

Wait a minute! people who live in a country that has a single payer health care system can't afford a house that nice. Are you saying that that is just not true, Minks?

BTW - Very Nice indeed.

Selling a house is the dumps. I'm in the middle of selling mine.

oh ya that part I am not looking forward to. Specially considering I will have to remove my 2 dogs from the home everytime someone comes to take a look at it, and I will also have to beat Jr Minks into submission when it comes to keeping the place clean. UGH!!!

Best of luck to yoiu too Fuzzy.

Aww Chonsi thanks :-4

thanks eh.I hope you can understand my confusion. If you listen to the conservative public officials and conservative talk show hosts in my country you'd think everyone in Canada lives together in one big room and the rest are standing in line waiting to get into American hospitals.

Its all a lie? OMG!

CARLA · Post by **CARLA** » Wed Feb 17, 2010 9:16 am

That is georgous Minks can you move into that unit its all set ready to go. Fenced, decorated inside and out. :-6

Love the layout of the downstairs open with clean lines perfect.

All a lie indeed. We don't live in one giant igloo all together. It is not a commune up here :yh_rotfl

Health care issues yes we have them, yes we have a huge shortage of specialized Doctors, regular doctors and wannabe doctors. Some folks do cross the border for certain health issues indeed.

that is the showhome Carla, I would move in minus furniture, and fence. I am not sure about grass some new areas give you minimal landscape it's all questions I have to ask this weekend when I go look. I will have mine built so depending on options and cost we shall see what I end up with.
