We have been talking about downsizing, plus I am really getting annoyed with the antics going on around my yard, with vandalism, so I was looking at some real estate. I would to move to a smaller community and just get more for our money.

I couldn't live in a Condo, or Townhouse, or a small lot.

I came across a place about 15 minutes east of Princeton BC, that I would like to go and have a look at. The home sits on 42 acres and backs on to the Similkemeen River. The house is an older rancher that looks to be in good shape, but would need some minor updating. Asking price under 550,000.
What I like about it, the house sits basically in the middle of the acreage, so neighbours are not right on your doorstep, property is basically low maintenance, as it is farmland.

 If I could just convince Mrs. Slow Lane, I would be moving tomorrow. If we could convince one of the networks to revive Green Acres, Mrs. Slow Lane and I could become stars.

Below is a link showing the property. Click on one of the pictures to enlarge.

That looks amazing, do it!

What?  No.   Etest year for odd years it is.  But  a 2013?

Maybe he's getting his yellow sticker for trucks.   That's different

Yellow sticker? Is that like the truck plates? I can't help but think he's got his wires crossed as he said "They just brought that in now" in telling me not to buy a B250 Dodge because it'd need to be safetied every year. News to me.

New job with a small engineering company starts in July!

One of my clients told the manager they should get in touch with me. It didn't take long to see that I'd be a good fit and vice versa.
