Sometime in Dec/Jan I hope to be able to get the crack in the foundation fixed in the basement so I can put up fresh walls to begin scrapping operations. Apparently Liverpool wants you to have a permit for everything outside the house and wants you to pay hefty for it so that will nix the carport/scrappers shed idea I had. There's more space in the basement so it should be a fun adventure. Other then that I think we're set - house always did really good in the winter dispite having plate glas windows(and the draft that comes with it) and all utilities are on minus cable/net/phone, so we'll be greeted with a toasty house. I hear Liverpool got a crap ton of snow last night so it'll be interesting getting into the house without someone plowing the driveway.
