Honeymoon photos

I have finally taken the time to upload our honeymoon photos...rather than put them in the blog I have put them up on my Flickr site.

Here they are.....click here

I hope you enjoy them.

Hintonburg gets new slumlords :-)

Well it has once again been a while since we have posted nay new info regarding our renovation. Can you really blame us...first off we got married then we took a 3 week honeymoon and then upon our return the weather has been perfect. In fact I have not seen an October like this in my entire life. Who says global warming is bad....just kidding.

We also have some good news especially for those who have not heard yet. Mel and I just purchased our first income property. It's a triplex located down the road on Stirling from us. We are very excited and are extremely happy as we got a great deal on a place that needs minimal work for the time being....I guess we are going to be the latest 'slumlords' in Hintonburg...actually I am just kidding. We plan on starting work on the exterior next summer turning the place into one of the cooler buildings in the neighbourhood. We will also modernize the apartments as they become empty.

I should also give 'props' where 'props' are due. We would like to thank Andy Morrissey our Agent for helping us navigate an income property purchase....if anyone is looking for a great, energetic agent who lives in and knows in detail the Hintoburg community this is your guy....any kickbacks are appreciated Andy :-).

The good news is that we have started the next phases of the reno. We are currently removing all the old lath and plaster in the bathroom and will be taking out our old cast iron tub to replace it with a nice new and modern shower all very Zen like.

I also took some time last weekend to build a bookcase which will be a built in the living room as well as two new concrete countertop forms....I can't wait to see how they look. The top of the bookcase will be covered by a concrete countertop with built in planters.
