STORMY LOOKING SKIES OVER TOWARDS LAKE HURON THIS MORNING |
It was a cruise up through Goderich for Pheebs and I to check on the harbors shoreline reconstruction project. Machines still busy working away on the eroded sections and I noticed the large stock pile of big boulders were gone from the old CPR train station site. I'm guessing those boulders are now in place along the shoreline somewhere. The four machines I saw working this morning seemed to be involved with backfilling as a large 18 wheeler backed in and dumped a load of smaller rocks. It was clear the project was well underway and not needing any of my 'Straw Boss Sidewalk Superintendent' supervising.
LOOKS LIKE GODERICH'S SHORELINE RESTORATION PROJECT IS IN HIGH GEAR |
THE BIG PILE OF BOULDERS HAS DISAPPEARED FROM THE OLD CPR TRAIN STATION LOT |
IF INDEED OUR PARK IS SOLD I SUSPECT THIS IS WHAT OUR CURRENT PINE FOREST COULD LOOK LIKE IN A FEW YEARS |
IF I GET OLD SOMEDAY AND CAN'T SPEND TIME OUTSIDE ANYMORE THIS CLOSE LIVING MIGHT BE OKAY.....BUT NOT YET |
THAT WHOLE AREA OVER THERE IS BEING PREPPED FOR EVEN MORE HOMES |
I DON'T MIND THE ACTUAL HOME IDEA BUT WOULD PREFER IT CAME WITHOUT A COMMUNITY |
PHEEBS AND I ARE SO FORTUNATE HERE IN SOUTHWESTERN ONTARIO TO HAVE SO MANY ENDLESS RURAL ROADS TO WANDER AROUND ON |

Just wondering what the average price of those cookie cutter homes would be.
ReplyDeleteThey start at $200.000 and go up from there depending on options. Should mention all these houses sit on leased land and I think lease fees run around $500 a month plus taxes and water etc. So, you own the house but you do not own the land.
DeleteAgree about the socks. You may remember that we had a promotional deal with Tilley at one time. In 2014, they sent us each two pair of underwear and one pair of socks. The socks in particular came with a 3 year "no holes" guarantee. To test them, I wore that pair of socks as often as I could, and washed them just as often. They lasted over two years. They currently cost $18 CAD per pair, and come with the same guarantee.
ReplyDeleteI still have one of the underwear, but it is on it's last legs so to speak. Still, for a pair of underwear to last 6 years is somewhat amazing, isn't it. Yes, you still have to swallow the initial cost which seems expensive at the time. But it would appear to be well worth it.
Wonder if your local taxing entity has an online site. Or maybe there are no property taxes in Canada? (I don't have a clue about that, but here in my little town in Texas, I can look up the property tax entity, and see by street address information about sales, transfers, prices, etc.) Surely there's some way to find out what's going on....it's hard to see big developers coming in. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteCommunity like that is like the song....
ReplyDeleteLittle boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same.....
Socks,socks and more socks. You know how I solved that problem? Dolly does all the sock buying. :))
ReplyDeleteI sure would hate for your beautiful neighborhood turn into those lines of matchboxes. You would never be happy. Looks too much like a crowded RV park.
Your local tax collectors ( assessor ) office will have that information
ReplyDeleteIn most cases you could look it up online It's fairly simple usually you search it by street address which will give you all the partials and who own them
When you find that out and you can't figure it out it's probably a holding company
If that be the case you run the holding company name through the tax assessors website
It'll list all the partials
Parkbridge is proposing a similar big development just outside Meaford. Got a Tilly hat 45 years ago that came with a lifetime guarantee. Wore it lots. Sent back the shredded hat abbout five years ago and now I'm the proud owner of a brand new Tilley hat!
