3 days left in the Leeds house

Shippers come tomorrow and the container on Friday - so last day of packing today - think its going to be a long one - deciding what we can live without for 6 weeks.

Report came in on the Heart House yesterday - lots of work needed including some structural work on some of the joists and beams. It looks terrible all written down but no real surprises though.

Good news is the furnace is wood and oil (we thought it may just be oil) and also the water test came back completely fine. And the brave inspector drove his truck into the garage which held the weight on the floor - so that's good news (and not a test I wanted to do!).

Sorry for the lack of podcast - it has been manic.

Saturday we leave the Leeds house for the last time and drive to Suffolk where my mother lives. Next Thursday we fly to Halifax and stay in various motels, campsites, cabins or wherever we can get the best comfort/value ratio.

Flora and Larry in Toronto who cracked our da downshiftme code to identify the "head house" in Hampton received their present of some pirate treasure and sent us this lovely photo with it. Unfortunately the "treaure" is in fact chocolate rather than gold.. but hey.. we are poor!



Will try to keep this up to date in text at least - but will try to do some audio soon.
