Home Sweet Home

 



Our house is in the Citadel area in the Northwest side of Calgary. It is on top of a hill (though no view at all :( ) so it's pretty windy up there. It also gets much more snow than in other areas too!

The house was built by the Beattie Homes Ltd. and we moved in on 29 May 1997. It is a two-story house with 3 bedrooms and an attached, double garage. With an area of about 1860 sq. ft., that's more than enough(*) for just two of us! (* "more than enough" here means the amount of housework not the living space!! :'p ) Outside we have a cedar deck where we can sit on our swing and enjoy the BBQ.

In May 2002, Elaine and I had cleaned up our old dying trees and shrubs and planted some new Mugho Pines -- finished with a Japanese style lantern -- and now we have a mini Japanese garden! Click here to see the picture.

At the back (click here to see a picture), we have a deck surrounded by gravels (no/low-maintenance!). Oh, and I have a string of patio lights at the back around the deck and some in the front... (I did the installation, so it's one of my biggest contributions to our yard works. :) )
