House Hunting

Home buying for Patrick and I has become a must. We orginally ended up having an offer accepted on one home the deposit down and our mortgage approved but things just started to fall apart. We decided that this is a sign and have waited for something else to come along. Although the home was cute 2 bed room 2 bath it did have a smaller yard and a unfinished basement.


Last night at Patricks grandfathers christmas I learned how truely blessed we are. One of Patricks uncles works for a carpet company and we found out that any carpet we need he would look after gettting it for us and installing it. Patricks other uncle has a painting business although he does maninly commercial painting he did agree to help us paint!!! YES I am throughly excited!

We kind of put our home search on hold for christmas! Now its 2 days after and were back looking!

Requirements. (Wishlist)

Close to Peterborough/ Bridgenorth anywhere in the city just not downtown.
200 AMP Service
2-3 bedrooms
1 hopefully 2 bathrooms.
Longer Driveway for both our cars and company
Fenced yard hopefully
Larger lot for the dog
Semi updated.
We want something that we can move into.
We dont mind living amongst renovations but we would like something that is semi complete.
I've had experience building homes between building dads from the ground up and helping with Krista and Adams!
Appliances coming with it would be a bonus but not a deal breaker.
Some hardwood would be great!
Newer roof and windows!
A basement with livable space with both have large families and would love to be able to have everyone over.

Were looking for a starter home something that would be able to do us for maybe 5-7 years. Somthing that we can put a bit of TLC into over the years and be able to easily resell down the road.

We will keep looking. Its out there somewhere!
