Our new place

Our new place is in the top floor of a duplex in Lachine. A duplex in Quebec can be split up and down rather than side by side as we most often see them in BC. It feels a lot like an apartment inside, but we have our own entrance in the front and back, and a nice sized shared back yard. It has two bedrooms and in-suite laundry and one of those neat ironing boards that folds into the wall.

Here is the front of the house. The top floor is ours, and the middle floor is our landlady's. The bottom is storage.

The stairs we have to climb to get to our home...scary in the winter I bet!

The eat-in kitchen with a lovely big ceramic sink.

 So cool..now whee do I find an ironing board cover that will fit on this? I'm going to have to ask a favour of my aunt who can sew anything!

The enclosed veranda.

 Living room

 Bathroom with laundry.

This was the fastest and easiest move in ever. We had 5 bags, two bikes and 3 boxes of toys. The place was fully furnished, so we didn't have anything heavy to lug up those stairs, and here are dishes and towels and blankets already here for us. We finished by 11:30am on Friday and were having beers at noon! So easy :)
