#^&@$^*^ MARKER!!

Well...our house building venture is on hold AGAIN! We were scheduled to pour the concrete last Saturday, only to find that the house forms have been placed in the wrong spot!! Apparently we are 10 inches into the setback on our property...not even over on the neighbours property...our own property!! I don't know how this happened - although I do know that there was a marker placed on the neighbours property by the surveyor which should have been removed after the survey was complete. Anyways, it's the most visual marker on the site, and was used for a lot of the measurements...only to then find out, that it's about a foot and a half over on the next property which caused us to be into our setback.

Now we are once again at the mercy of the muncipality to say whether or not we can move forward...gggrrrrrrrrr!!!

I have to admit...that marker certainly is an eye catcher, and I can see how it could be mistaken for the property marker!

I'm Back...

Happy New Year Everyone!! Well...I know December is a busy month, but this year was a little too much for me! I visited relatives in Toronto for a week at the beginning of the month, then had to start packing as soon as I got back in order to move into my parents little cottage on Bowen Island, then on top of that, we had major plumbing problems in the new place (the entire plumbing had to be redone!!) plus several power outages, deadlines to be finished, Christmas shopping to do, and I had no internet sevice from December 11th to this morning...UGH!!! Well, the move finally happed this weekend, and as soon as I get everything unpacked, I will post some pictures of our super cute, super tiny little space. Even though it's small, it's feels so nice to have our own space again and the view is spectacular!! We also get tons and tons of bright sunshine spilling into the space which is something I have missed tremendously when living in the basement suite...am feeling very motivated and excited for 2007!!

Here's the belly progress - to date, Baby 'D' is 27 weeks and one day...ONLY TWELVE MORE WEEKS TO GO!!!

Where have my feet gone...I could have sworn I had a pair?!?

Oh...never mind there they are!!
