I hope you're proud of the wonderful job done you've done remaking her. She looks to be a very happy little house and if she weren't most of the way to the North Pole I'd put in an offer myself.
you've done a lot in a short time. looking forward to you next project too.....or will you be buying 'ready made'? diy is something I would love to do but cannot find the energy for. things here are just slowly falling apart and being left that way.....
ref - previous post -Great news on the free rental agreement at the tip.
Also to add to the chorus of congratulations -and add that your shack (as you put it )looks to me to be both attractive and a very homely comfortable abode.
cicero - thanks - i think it's cute too... a tad sad to be leaving. it's in Fairview, AB, way up north.
su- i'm not humble enough to even pretend that i'm not proud. she's a dear, and i'll miss her.
claire - not sure what the next place will be... possibly a condo. the ReStore will be all consuming for a while, so my home probably won't get much attention.... and i'll miss the garden.... will be by your blog for my much needed quota of green
zee - thanks! i did a lot of de-cluttering to get her camera-and-realtor ready. but the response has been good. hope she sells quickly.
lindsay - yes, she's been a lovely little home. and i'll miss her with all my heart. i hope she goes to someone who appreciates her. she'd been unloved for many years before i got her. ...on the ReStore... i think i may have the local Ford dealership interested in providing us with a used cube van in exchange for some advertising on the box of it. that's worth a lot... it's a moving billboard,and it'll be covering a huge area.
I came back to see if you'd done another post and you have. I'll pop up there next but just wanted to say I'm delighted to hear about the cube van. I know it's taking a lot of effort but things appear to be progressing and I'm glad.
Thanks for coming by to visit again. It's always a delight to see your name in my email. Just in case you need some very light reading I did post another story .. the first since January but now I know there will be more.
su - didn't bring a book with me to my room @ my daughter's, so took the laptop to bed with me. you very thoughtfully provided the bedtime story. thanks ever so. nighty night.
Granny - great to see you again! well, it's a long story, but she was pretty filthy and run down when i bought her, so she was dubbed the 'granny shack' then, and the name stuck. she very definitely IS a home now; i'm quite fond of her.... but selling, and moving to the nearby city of Grande Prairie to start a ReStore for Habitat for Humanity. my dream job.
I'm a musician and music teacher, living in a gorgeous old house in a small town in northern Alberta, Canada. I'm living a simple life, growing a garden filled with delicious vegetables, fruits, and soul nourishing flowers, bartering with nearby producers of organic meats, fruits and veggies. I host house concerts for Canada's Home Routes concert series featuring fantastic live music from all over the Americas.

Looks like an awfully cute place ... where did you say this shack was?

Look much more like a home than a shack.
