Now that I've maybe out of my blogging slump, I'm ready for another.
A couple of weeks ago, Debbie and I bought a new house. It won't be built until August 2008 which is nice so we can save like mad. It's only about 3 blocks east of where we are now but it's tremendously bigger. Currently, we're in a townhouse of 1150 square feet. The new house will be 2050 square feet.
Here is a link. We're elevation A, 36 foot lot: Fernbrook Homes
The artist drawing is a little deceiving. There will be no 100 foot, 50 year old trees and neighbours will be 8 feet away on both sides. It would be great if we got the house exactly like the rendition!
We'll probably do a private sale in the spring of 2008. Avoiding real-estate fees will save us $15,000!
Now all I need to do is convince Debbie to sell it and move to Nepal. I checked out real-estate in Nepal and you can buy a 2000 square foot, 3 story house, gated property, servants' entrance and quarters in Kathmandu for $88,000US! We could live like royalty over there! Sigh.

Your neighbours will be 8 feet away? How did you manage to get such a huge amount of space?? Ha ha..
Good job on the house. Maybe one day you can settle down and stop moving!
By the time you move to Nepal, I'll have my place in Grenada. Do you think there are direct flights between the two?
Does that mean we can still live with you? You are such a good domesticated man Jeffer!
oh new home sales ... hope they actually stick to their timeline ;)
Glad to see you're back blogging and alive.
If you want to see a good nature video (snow geese - I took it)...

And have a great weekend.
Good luck saving up cash for the house.
