Aaron's got the gift!

What gift is that, you ask? The gift of bartering. It's definitely a guy thing.

We went to the Home Show tonight to see an actual garage built by the company we've hired to build our garage. So, while we were there Aaron mentioned that he'd like to upgrade one window to a slider and extend the garage by another 2 feet in width. So, we're now building a 24 by 26 Garage-Mahal. (Note to Christina: Aaron may be borrowing your term "Garage-Mahal")

And the best part of this, is that these 2 upgrades Aaron got for FREE. You heard it here first. Aaron has mastered the gift of bartering. He referred a co-worker to this company so in exchange they gave us a couple thousand $ in free upgrades.

WOOT WOOT for Aaron!

Does this mean all your snow is gone? I doubt we will see any green other than St Patty's Day stuff this month!

SWEET! Does he want to come over, pretend to be my husband and barter with the realtor?

Putting the house on the market in Calgary is scary when you see $15,000 go to the realtor's commission... for listing, for selling and for buying...

It's crazy!
