Progress on our house plans...when did that happen.......lets see NEVER! It is a crazy world out there right now when your talking about the real-estate market. We decided a few weeks ago that the way for us to "hopefully" capture some of Saskatchewan's booming economy is to build a home. Right now the prices are fairly similar when you look at buying a 1960's 1300 sq foot home in Regina and building a brand new 1300 sq foot home. The only difference is with buying you most likely have to put even more money into renovating it, but you have to wait FOREVER to move in. We are currently looking at approx. 18 months from date of signing to date of possession but for us we are OK with that. We are guaranteeing ourselves an affordable house now but saving up for 18 months too.
We bought our land in White City.....18.3 meters wide and 40 meters deep (HUGE!!!) and now we are down to finding a builder...well a builder and a final floor plan. We spent Sunday touring show homes and talking to builders and wow......there are a lot of decisions. Now we knew that going into it, but with builders being so busy we have to hopefully find a builder who will put effort into our house and not just throw it together like all the other cookie-cutter houses out there. We have a busy week ahead of us with meeting builders every day after work and hopefully by next week we will have a contract signed and be on our way to getting our new home.

Where are you going to put the ducks?
In the fenced back yard of course!
In a Row I hope!?
Nothing better than a bunch of fine looking ducks in the backyard all in a row...but it doesn't beat a bunch of noms (fuck it if it is spelt wrong) in provocative position does it!
Good point, does anyone have pictures of that cause I'd like a copy.
I look forward to seeing your wife's well manicured back yard.
And the ducks and gnome's of course.
