New Digs

May 12, 2004 in The Digs

Not everything was a hassle today.

After much hunting and searching and re-hunting and dealing with a pretty irrational housing market, we finally bought a house.

Mark August 1 on your calendar - you want to be out of town, otherwise you might be helping me and Amanda move. :-)

Congratulations to both of you!

Congratulations! When's the housewarming party?
Tom, May 12, 2004
You moved there on purpose so I would have to get on a plane to visit, didn't you?!? Well, it's not going to work -- Not when there's plenty of over-priced homes out here in L.A. that you could have picked up.
Congrats bro!

Hey everyone - thanks for the good wishes. We're pretty excited to find out what this house has in store for us. Its fully of gold shag carpet and gold-flecked wall mirrors - there's even some funky reflective "Disco Stu" wall-paper that needs to come out...the RenoBlog will be something to keep an eye out for :-)

Hey all! Thanks for the congrats! If you're coming for moving day, be sure to wear your silver disco pants! ;) (we're keeping the disco wallpaper, right?)

Kim Phelan, May 13, 2004
welcome neighbour! I'd say we should carpool, but you are at work too insanely early! Housewarming fun on the way...Congrats!
P, May 13, 2004
Awesome. Congrats on the new home! You provide the beer, transportation, accomodations, massage and chiropractic work, and I will come help you move.
Ross, May 13, 2004
Maybe a little one.
Ross, May 13, 2004
Chances are that I'll be riding in for the morning leg and then begging you for a "I'm too tired!" ride home every night :-)
Ross, May 13, 2004
Hmmm....perhaps it might work better if I just sent you pictures and try real hard to make you feel like you are included ;)
jamma, May 13, 2004
i would like to take this moment to volunteer my hubby for moving day.... and, not to worry, i will make sure he's wearing his disco pants!!
Her, May 14, 2004
I can't wait to see THAT! lol
Her, May 14, 2004
Actually Tom, we DO want you to visit! - Amanda
Ross, May 14, 2004
No we don't.

congrats (so jealous, how much is a house like yours in TO these days anyways?)
obviously i've been out of ontario too long
is York the new (old) name for Toronto :-) ?
Ross, May 17, 2004
Fully detached units in this neighborhood really start around $350k or so...and go up to $650 and even higher...I'm sure there's the odd one for $1mm plus...
York is the old name for what sprouted up around Fort York...for some reason Yahoo! thinks that's where we are ;)

Seeing as I may be the only architect type guy here I feel I must say something.....KEEP THE DISCO STU WALLPAPER!!!!! That stuff is hard to get now. I hear they are looking for locations to film The Ladies Man II. Your new digs would be a great fit. I will call my movie friends.
Time for "Get Drunk and Build Shit" at Abandah and Rossesessesssessss
Ross, May 26, 2004
How about "Get drunk and figure out if that's really a load-bearing wall" ;-)
A good architect is hard to find. I'll settle for a drunk one anyday!
Her, May 28, 2004
Funny, we were just talking about you! I'm glad you like the wallpaper too. I want to install a disco ball at the top of the stairs and rig it up so that when you open the door to the basement, the disco ball is on, the lights are on and the disco music starts! lol How do you feel about taking down 2 (ish) walls? ;)
Rob D, September 20, 2004
hmmm first time back to "RB" lost the link. I am ever so internet savvy!
I am fine with taking down walls...it is holding up the roof that scares me.
