More pictures of our home build. Again, not much to report as we could not get into our house over the weekend, but here's a couple of outside pictures for you all......
The guys working on the house in the pictures are installing the sidings onto the house. Don't ask us what the UK translation is for sidings...we don't know (hehehe!!) Basically the bottom half is framed in brick and the top half in sidings which are like sheet metal slats inserted and overlapping each other.
Staying on the same topic about houses, we went to sign our mortgage papers during the week, but the lending bank SCREWED up the paperwork. We have hired the services of a mortgage broker (free of charge, they get paid by whoever they recommend for you) who you meet with you and discuss your mortgage requirements and search on your behalf for the best deals.
Turns out the lending bank (no bank names mentioned here just in case they are watching!!) received updates on our house build from our mortgage broker, but they had not entered this on their system (GGGRRRR!!!)
See...not all in Canada is perfect.....
The bank are in the process of resolving this issue, but with just under 3 weeks to go before we move in, Elaine & I were starting to panic. But people here sometimes don't sign mortgage papers until on the day of closing on the house (closing=completing). And that is not an issue.
Anyway, we will keep you abreast of more updates soon.
