BACK IN 2007...

Since the energy audit and insulation consult I mentioned in my last post will take some time, I thought I'd introduce you to our old Nova Scotia home which we lovingly refer to as the Cottage. It's hard to believe it was 15 years ago that we bought on the South Shore.

We were living in Ontario at the time but knew we would be coming back home to Nova Scotia at some point. We had been looking on real estate sites for places but really had not seen anything we liked or could afford. During a trip to Nova Scotia to visit family, we were driving along the Medway River and found a little house for sale. We stopped to look in the front windows and were won over by the sun shining in the side window into the kitchen. We immediately contacted the agent but she said there was already a pending sale. A month later she contacted us to say the deal had fallen through. After a quick trip by one of us back to Nova Scotia in November ahead of a hurricane and the inside sight unseen by the other spouse, we had a new house. This is what it looked like then.



That Christmas, we drove down to investigate our diamond in the rough. We slept on an air mattress on the living room floor and we were so happy LOL. Renovations started in the Spring when we were able to come down for a whole week and still continue. I'll post some before and after pictures another day.
