Adrienne Moul — Thu, 10 May 2012 17:25:00 GMT

Have you ever wondered what was supposed to be included with your newly purchased home, or what you should leave behind for the buyer of your home? People have different expectations of what should and shouldn't come with a house. Of course anything that is a part of the house (permanent fixtures) like kitchen cabinets or bathtubs should no doubt be staying, but what about things like the fridge, dryer or the bracket that holds up the flat screen?

Today is the day that I'm officially resigning my job as chief tile layer, construction foreman, cleaner, gofer and general problem solver on the construction project known as my primary residence!

Sticks & Stones May Break Bones, But Words Can Inspire

Adrienne Moul — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 21:45:00 GMT

Usually my job is full of excitement and happiness; I love turning over the keys to someone’s first home or their new dream house. Even the challenges involved in selling usually have a happy ending. In the last couple of weeks I had to sell a home for a couple; they had been in their Calgary home for over a decade, but due to finances they were unable to keep it.
