Thurs, Jan 31
So yesterday I got together with my lawyer at 10:30, signed a pile of docs, handed over a big fat cheque, and went out and inspected my townhouse with Van Dyk’s site supervisor (Matt). A little late for that but hey, I’ve been on PEI! Besides, Ontario has this complicated Tarion Warranty thingy … Well, never mind that, you don’t wanna know.
At 11 this morning, my lawyer’s office phoned to say the vendor has signed off & I can pick up the keys at Van Dyk’s site trailer (two blocks from my place).
Handing Over The Keys Ceremony (Matt to Mike)
Friday Feb 1
This is the day my appliances arrive. Just before they did, I took some shots of the interior — looks a little barren without furniture!
Cobourg has a great downtown park and beach. It was freezing cold & windy on Friday when these shots were taken, but it’ll be great in the summer!
Sunday, Feb 3
I moved out of the Comfort Inn today even tho all my stuff is still in Moncton (arriving Wed). However, the Bell fibre op guy hooked up my Internet, phone and TV yesterday and today my appliances were installed. And let’s face it: if you have TV and a fridge, what else do you really need?
Well, you don’t need a bed, that’s for sure. This $30 addition is my temporary bed, and sofa (tip: you just let some air out and it folds sofa-style nicely).
I guess remaining posts will be few & far between — maybe some “after” shots once I get this place shipshape. I’ve been very fortunate thus far ’cause everything has been proceeding tickedy boo.
Til later… Cheers!

Apart from a TV and fridge and a camp bed, you will need an espresso maker. The floors and light look fabulous — we want to see ‘work in progress’ pics, so keep the posts coming!
