Good morning all! Taking my mother to the Adventure Aquarium today... I could watch the jelly fish all day.

Anyhoo just stopping in to say hi.. thanks for the coffee Charles.

Thanks for the coffee charles, that sign doesn't seem very friendly.

Well I was up at the crack of dawn, woke up a bit then started to think about houses.

We went to see this one last night - a foreclosure - what they didn't mention in the description "A few repairs will bring its charm back" is that before the people left they tore out the kitchen and the central air-conditioning/heater.

When I say tore out I mean the kitchen is empty - they even took the cupboards, counters and sink (and cut some of the wiring).

Now normally I would just allow for that in the offer and fix it up myself - however! - the bank will not lend us the money for a house in that state - they are really tight - kind of a 'big brother'-ish thing.

Good morning!

Thats very common for a foreclosure!! Just before people loose the house,they gut it--and sell what they took out!!! As well dealing with banks on a foreclosure can be a big pain in the butt, things tend to move at a much slower pace!! Best of luck

I had a such a crush on him growing up. But when he cheated on Kate, I lost my love.

But if he'd been patient she would have. Remember the scene with Lucy, the banana and condom?

Oh boo. I was telling my husband about that other gutted house last night. It would be a fabulous deal if you could get a line of credit to redo it. Time to buy a lottery ticket! lol

Happy Equinox!

Happy Spring!

Ohmygosh. It's Spring already? Hard to tell when every day is the same here.

I have never seen Degrassi so I can't join in that conversation.

I kind of crossed that one off the list as it would take a loooong time to fix it up - so we would lose the option of renting it out and skipping town - not that we really plan on skipping town - but anyhoo.

I'm still interested in the one we saw last night - it's basically like the house we live in now sans all the cosmetic fix ups.

I have contacted a mortgage broker recommended by the real estate agent last night - she is looking in to details of an add on loan for repair - I tire of our wacky tabacky RBC mortgage consultant.

It sucks that it was gutted but if theres some way to work with it, at least when you redo it it would be just the way you want it. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that you can find something half decent.
