To satisfy the curious who have asked:

• The new house will be built here.
• The builder is Baywood Homes.
• The floor plan can be seen here, note that it’ll be Elevation B, Alternative Upper Level. (4 beds plus study)
• Closing date is March 5th, 2008. Hopefully this means that the foundation will be poured and the house framed before winter really sets in. It’s a really bad idea to get your foundation poured in Ontario in February, unless you want to spend the rest of your life dealing with cracks and leaks due to frost damage.
• If anyone wants to buy our current place before the vultures realtors descend, then check it out here. Ideal starter home, close to all amenities, this charming example of early 80’s townhouse condo architecture will thrill and enchant you, blah blah blah….
