Go figure. The new awesome house is even more awesome after todays inspection. Although there were a few minor things and a few things that will need to get done for the winter, nothing was a deal breaker and the house is mine, free and clear. It feels fantastic.

I did see the grossest spider I’ve ever seen in Canada today and it was on the side of my house, which was discouraging. I’m pretty sure it had a hard shell. Hopefully my can of spray Raid can penetrate this spider force field. We also saw a really big spider run across the floor when we opened the big shed. So, at this point, it looks like I won’t be spending much time there.

Here are some awesome things I learned about my house or the area today:

– This will now be the second house I’ve owned where my truck doesn’t fit in the garage.

– Bear are common and there is a neighbourhood “pet deer” who sleeps on people’s porches and is very friendly. They also call the      river that runs behind my house the migratory trail for lots of different animals

– My neighbour was attacked by a cougar and says the neighbourhood gets stalked about once a year.

– There is a path that runs along the river a short distance either way from my house. One way ends up at a pool you could swim and the other ends up on a rocky beach and when you look west, there is a huge mountain.

– There is a path that runs from the end of my street into what they call “the back 40”. Neighbour said she hikes it all the time, never comes across another soul and you can go as far as your imagination or legs will take you. That is where she got attacked by the cougar.

– My hot tub seats 8 people!!

Those are just a few of the awesome discoveries of the day. I can’t wait to make it a home. Check out the pics from today.
