Home Improvement

I was told by an associate that the real estate market in Canada was not nearly as devastated as it was here in the states. I would guess that part of the reason was that it wasn’t as inflated to begin with. I have always sensed a more down to earth demeanor from the Canadians I have been fortunate enough to know. We, in the states, had to know that the ridiculous price surges had to fizzle at some point. I for one have taken my head out of the sand. I am looking to see if there are any condos for sale in Winnipeg for me and my family. I’m ready to follow my heart.

I have been in the home renovation business since I was a child working with my father and grandfather. I didn’t imagine there would ever be a request for something that would be unique, since I have seen it all. Then one day, this gentleman with an Indian accent calls my office and proposes that I meet him to discuss a project with him. As it turned out, I did a job for this lovely Indian family about two years ago and he was in town visiting and saw what I did and he liked it very much. We met at a local cafe and he presented me with four wedding cake toppers and asked me if I could build a life sized rendition of any of them. I told him he needed a sculptor not a builder. He said it would be very financially advantageous for me to take on the challenge. I am still pondering the thought.

My brother-in-law is in the event planning business. I don’t have a clue how me manages to control it. He can never find his car keys and quite often is wearing different colored socks. My sister tells me that he found his wallet in their kitchen oven one day and tried to blame their two year old. If he can run a business as detailed as event planning, I should apply for an executive positon at NASA. Then I found out he has event management software and the mystery was solved. I can’t believe how useful software is and now I am positive it performs miracles.
