super nice of the safety man

*As of March 2, 2010

(why is there something always forever parked in front of our house?)

So yesterday morning, Aiden and I ventured off to Milton (again) to check out the status of our home. Ry was being all like "I need to send out so many emails", so he didn't come with us. So much action was going on on our street, they seem to be working tres hard to get all these houses to close on time, or at least with minimum delays. It's been such a good first home buying experience, well, let's not jinx it now. I stood outside our house for about 10 minutes, debating if I should enter the house (considering that I was carrying 30 lbs Aiden). I didn't want to endanger ourselves, but I wanted, so badly to take a peak! By luck, Mr. Construction Site Safety Man, decided to show up and my initial reaction ... I thought I was in trouble (lol). But instead, he pleasantly asked if I wanted to tour our home! Whhhaaat? Really? He even offered to carry Aiden while I took a peak around, but of course, Aiden is a true mama's boy. We went inside the house, nothing too special yet, but things are definitely coming along. The fun bit was the fact that we were allowed to go upstairs. It's still hard to envision everything, I'm so anxious to see the final product. Dan, the safety man, was so super nice. Saying that they don't usually let people into the houses while it's an active zone, but when he sees people trying to peak around, he always tries his best to accomodate .. after all he said, "you've driven all this way!" It was kind of hard to take tons of photos considering I was carrying Aiden with one side of my entire body, but here's what I got ...

my favourite upgrade, well, number 2 to the 9ft ceilings of course!

It's funny to think that Carissa and Alex's lot, which is right beside us, still look like ... this:

I asked Dan when construction would start on their home and he said in the next couple of weeks, but truly not until they've 95% completed our home. Looks like we'll be stuck with the sound of drills and wearing rainboots for the next little while. But that's okay, we'll be in our first home :)
