New House
Our Street
Our rental houseWe have moved into our rental house now. Whew, its good to out of the 30th floor! Our new house has 3 bedrooms and a backyard, which is a bonus. There is an unfinished basement (all houses in Toronto are required to have a basement), so plenty of storage. I'm hoping to get a small inflatable bounce houses or a small trampoline for the boys to put in the basement.
This house is about 80 years old or so, and lots of things needed to be fixed. Luckily, or unluckily the fridge and washer have both quit, so the landlord bought us new ones. Also, being an old house, the closets are teeny tiny, so we had to buy Ikea wardrobes. We didn't bring alot of furniture with us because we didn't know what size house we would have, and I'm so glad we didn't bring alot! We've had to buy more furniture that fits this house, but thank goodness for Craigslist! Today we just bought the last of it, a TV stand so now Aaron can set up his Xbox. Unpacking has been slow because we haven't had a place to put anything.
We are in the midtown area of Toronto; our neighborhood is called Davisville. Toronto is a full of little neighborhoods, if you move one street over then you're in a new neighborhood. I've also heard it called Mt. Pleasant Village, so go figure.
