From Bambrick Place to the little house on the prairie

This past week we really had a great occasion to celebrate, for Ben and Josée's home on Bambrick Place sold to some people from Victoria.
In the picture to the left, you see the front driveway.
Ben and Josée did all their own advertising on an internet site called By The Owner and it proved invaluable. At first, there seemed to be little or no action from the site, then suddenly things took off and many people called about the house and a number of couples came to look. One interesting feature among many on the site was it's ability to record how many people had looked at the home on-line, and whether or not they were return lookers.
Ben and Josée were delighted to finally get their sale done as they can now concentrate more of their energy into gutting and renovating their next home which is a small rancher home on almost seven acres, located near the airport in Comox. In the picture to the left and below, you can see the house in the background and Josée busily involved in fencing an area to the rear of the house. Fencing this area took priority over anything else for a while, for they needed to create a "pen" to contain Tegan the Mastiff Tank, otherwise she would have disappeared and gone to play with the horses on the one side, or the geese on the other.
Ben and Josée are now almost through the wrecking stage and beginning to look ahead with excitement to the renovations. They have much courage and we wish them well.
