All I Can Say Is "Wow"

Have you ever been to a 'Dream Home?'

Last evening, Kerri, myself and Hope went for a quick drive up to Winding Way near Barrhaven to see this massive 1.5 million dollar, fully furnished home. Our Children's Hospital (CHEO) is given it out as a prize to some lucky family. All I can say is 'Wow!'

Here is the link if you want to see more info and if you scroll down you will see to the left there is an link to the 'Minto site' that lets you have a virtual tour or see interior photos...there is also a map of the house.

Personally I don't think many people could afford this huge house for long because of insurance, heat and hydro even though the actually house is being paid for and a host of other things listed on the site that they are offering...I don't think some people realize with house and car give-aways (this house comes with a car too or you can take 40 000 dollars cash instead) that there are still costs and stresses. There is insurance; taxes; interest; heat; hydro; gas and repairs. These expenses continue where any help you will get for prize will not last forever if you don't make a nice sum to bring into the house....but it was a neat house to tour....

You don't have to have bought a ticket to tour the CHEO Dream home...I suppose you would need a car though as I don't think there is good buses way out in the boonies where it is located...

I am not aiming to own a house like CHEO's Dream Home with all it's 4 bedrooms; pool table; air hockey table; sauna; hot tube; huge rooms; movie room with large screen TV; Multiple TVs; maid service free for a year; $5000's worth of Grocer's from Farm Boy and $100 000 worth of cash...

My goal is to eventually get a job so that Kerri and I can continue to live in the beautiful home in the country that we do rent and even have the means left over to travel somewhere where palm trees live!

We shall live happily ever after :-).
