Bye bye...

...North! my son would say, and I have to agree with his statement. I said I was going to move out of the North , last spring I ranted, well it is fait accompli as of next monday.
I will be an Albertan and working in Edson my wife and son to follow in 3 weeks. We have ordered a house , to be delivered in 7 months, but we don't have any land or basement or services to put it on. Nice house though
Edson is out of control house price wise, 300k for a house that needs 60k worth of work. Or new houses starting at 325k with no yard and you have to have the same red brick driveway and white fence as everyone else, whatever happened to Albertan individuality? Anyway , we have bought a modular home and need to find a couple of acres now. Edson is on the way to Jasper so I know some of you will make it that way sometime.
Oh, we were going to buy 3 arces 15miles from town with a 50ft 2 bedroom trailer and 2 garages on it as a expediate measure , but they turned down an offer of 240k !!!! Thats damn near A QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS for a 20k trailer and 80k worth of dirt and garages. The long term will prove us right for moving . Although at this point it looks like 7 months of hotel fro 21,000bucks because there is no place to rent.
