By the end of our walk we had convinced ourselves at least twice that now was the time to move and then at least three times that now was not the time to move.
We are currently living in the Front Porch capital of Canada. And as much as a like the whole front porch idea our lot is teeny tiny and with a double plus garage it's just that much smaller. This new area is all front attached garages and all the houses we were loving all backed onto a greenspace. LOVE LOVE LOVE !!! So, the whole front attached garage that I was so against is all of a sudden having a lot more appeal to it. You can park in the garage AND have two guaranteed parking spots right in front of your house AT ANY GIVEN TIME. Hallelujah! That's a definite plus right there. We've had a few parking issues but as much as it annoys the shit of me, the street is a public road and anyone can park in front of myself. Even when it's pouring rain and I have to unload 20 bags of groceries and haul them up the street or even better from across the street.
This new neighbourhood we're looking at does not have a school so our kids would be bussed. That's the holding factor right then and there.
So maybe in 3 to 5 years we'll re-visit the plan but for now, I'll keep sitting on the front porch...

Why not move here?...you can have a driveway AND a front porch! Not sure about the garage...BTW...I told a certain someone our house can't have a garage...where would I putter around???? Exactly!
I opt for number 8 if you are counting downwards. Cause it looks a bit like mine.lol
It's fun daydreaming, isn't it? :-)
Get over it girl and come to front garage land!!! My kids LOVE the bus by the way. It's PARTY time on the big yellow mobile. Okay only until the bus driver yells at them to shut up. Ha ha. But seriously you could come here, have a front garage (which by the way is way nice when the weather is crappy) and your kids could still walk to school!
