Well put it this way, we are rated the #1 city to live in right now b/c of the economy, even thou per capita we have the worst crime rate in Canada, my little 850 sq foot home with my shop and a 48x100 lot is worth about 280 thousand. Now think about that. Heck, my house is not even renovated, i got the bathroom and bedrooms done and the outside. not even new windows in it yet. It was built in 74. I hate how much they are worth here. I bought this house 4 years ago for 88 thousand. what does that say. At this rate i will never be able to afford my acreage that i want b/c I HATE the CITY with a passion. Born and bred country boy here. Sorry about my little rant. I am just saying that most ppl take it for granted what they have, I would love something bigger and nicer, but that is not gonna happen. So for now, I am happy with what I have, a roof over my head and a place to raise my family that I CAN AFFORD. Even thou I wish I had your house. Everyone wants bigger and better, well that comes at a cost, and most do not realize that, There is 20 year olds here with a 400 thousand dollar house and new furniture and 2 new vehicles, now how does that work? I am 30 and drive a 94 sunbird with no heater, and it is 20 below right now, at least the wife has a new car. Sorry about the rant again. Anways your house is great, I love all the old moldings and trim, that is what makes a house have its character, keep it up and be proud of it. Your hard work will prevail in the end! Later
