5 months and counting!

Today begins the 5 month countdown until my tentative closing date! Wow - I can't believe it - where has the time gone... I have been busy purging all the unnecessary crap out of the apartment and it feels great. Some has been donated to the Salvation Army while other household items have been donated to The Canadian Diabetes Association. I have a couple of items that I am looking to get rid of - portable dishwasher, window air conditioner. If you need either of these items or know anyone who would be interested, let me know!!

Footings are in....

Yesterday, I received an email from a future neighbour, Paul, telling me that the foundation was going in. Excited to say the least, I told him that I would take a trip to the site and snap a picture of two suitable for posting. As I approached the site, I didn't see anything at first. But once I got past the big pile of dirt, my eyes lit up when I saw footings in place.

Holy Hole!

I drove by the site this morning to see if I could take a snapshot or two of what's been going. And to my excitement and glee, I discovered that there is a resemblance to a hole. Right dead centre, under the arch of the digger, that's where I will be. Yay!

Now, I'm not sure what this means but I would ASSUME it means they are prepping to do some work. But who knows! That's why I'm not a builder.

As I was leaving, this is what will greet you when enter the development. I love the brick and the way it looks. Yay!

Lay of the Land

Well, it's been a while since I last posted but I wanted to update everybody that Mattamy U was good. I met my builder, Customer Care Representative and HMB Project Manager. According to my builder, they are waiting for the building permits and once they have those, they can start to build. Yay!

On another note, I drove by the site a couple of weekends ago and discovered that the ground has been levelled, markers have been planted and a paved road is now down. This can only be a sign of good things to come! Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera but fear not, I will be venturing out today to snap a photo or two of my future dwelling.
