Dena and I are now home owners 🙂

After a couple months of MLS searches, walk-throughs, meetings and general running around, we’ve finally found a new place to hang our hats. We checked out places in other areas of Kitchener and didn’t find anything that suited us, even though we liked the area that we’re currently renting in. Out of desperation resulting from fruitless searches, we even considered looking in Waterloo and Cambridge. So it came as a surprise to us when we finally found a house that we liked and it’s barely 2 kilometres away from where we are now. It’s a happy conclusion and one we’re pleased with. I’m sure our real estate agent, who was great to work with and taught us a great deal about real estate and house construction, is pleased too since we undoubtedly drove him nuts, what with driving all over the Technology Triangle to view houses and all.

There’ll be some work to do such as painting and finishing some work around the fireplace in the rec room, but I’m starting to get excited about home automation X10 or INSTEON. Writing software for a house can’t be all that different than developing computer software, can it? 😉
