Our New House - Week 4 Update

This weekend was usually set aside for the annual Cyclefest held in West Montrose by the Waterloo Wings. However, the Wings decided to retire the event and this year was going to be just a friendly campout. Once again, Heather and I decided against camping, which proved to be a good idea given the sketchy weather.

We went to the campground in the morning to pick up Heather's parents and we drove to New Hamburg for breakfast at the Old Country Restaurant. After breakfast, I took everybody to Woodstock for another look at our house. Changes from last week included stairs to the 2nd floor and the basement, a bathtub, water pipes, electrical wiring, electrical panel box in the basement and freshly delivered roof tiles and brick waiting to be applied to the house. The work is progressing at a brisk pace.

From Woodstock we drove through Breslau to check on more house construction, to Waterloo for a pit stop at Williams. Then it was back to Kitchener to Campers World to look at some RV that Jim and Sandy are interested in purchasing. Finally, we arrived at Marj's in Alma for supper. By the time we left Marj's the skies had opened and it was raining quite heavily. We dropped the parents off at the campground and we made it home by 6pm.
