Grant and I just bought our first house. And it happens to be in Toronto. This is a big deal for me on 2 fronts:1) It's my first house.
2) It's in a big city.
Having grown up in a small city (yes, Chatham is a city!), I still have little city syndrome, even though we've lived in Oakville (25 minutes away) for the past 6 years. I still prefer that Grant drives downtown so I can ogle at the big buildings and the important people walking out of them.
So, it's an exciting time in my life, and I thought it would be a good time to document my experiences moving to 'the big smoke' and being a first-time homeowner. Normally, things are not as exciting all at once. Must take advantage of this - hence, this blog.
So excited about your new house :) From one homeowner to another, here is my pro tip for you: don't watch HGTV. They will only lure you into a false sense of security re: being able to turn a crack shack into a palace in 1 week flat. You know how organized (anal) I am, and it took me 6 weeks to get my 10X5 bathroom done (vs. the 2 days that HGTV promised). Still in my little city, living vicariously through you!
