    I'm glad the move went well and that everything & everyone arrived safe and sound. You should remember Manitoba January weather... if not, well you have just been reintroduced!

    Send me a PM when you're planning any trips into the 'Peg and maybe we can meet up for a couple pints.

    Thanks for having the guts to post the shots of your basement. Those pictures show more about the house than the ones that you posted from outside. I think that you really have a sturdy and cozy nest to weather the coming storms!!!

    Good luck, stay warm!

    Glad the move went well, Al. Things have started getting cold here too, just not THAT cold.

    It goes without saying that we will be expecting reports on kilted life in that province. Topics such as "dealing with mosquitoes* and blackflies..." Oh. That's almost too awful to think about...
    Enjoy your new home!


    *Manitoba's provincial bird.
    Ah yes, the Manitoba mosquito. If you can get 'em in the fall they will feed a family of 4 for a week!
    So far we absolutely LOVE the new house. We just have a few more things to do before we can truly relax.

    And they're not just mosquitoes...a more apt description is Prehistoric Pterodactyl Skeeter's...

    See my comment above. LOL

    Thanks James! The house has really become quite warm and comfortable. The only thing we lack to make it "perfect" is a wood-burning fireplace, but we can live without that. As for having the guts to post those disaster-zone pics...here's one of the same room taken about 15 minutes ago. Now the home office is done, aside from loading up the bookshelf.

    Thanks Will! I wish we could have had one last get-together before we left, but time just didn't allow it. We will be back to visit probably once a year or more, so perhaps on one of those trips we can meet up.
    It actually warmed up nicely today...-15C. It was quite pleasant out this morning when we did some running around downtown.

    Really, no fireplace? How about an old pot belly stove?

    Sadly, no fireplace. In the future we may look at a woodstove, but we'll have to see how things work out.
