Coming from Europe, it is so fascinating to see how the houses are structured in Canada and which features they have (bedrooms in the basement, heated garage😮 ). So curious to follow the journey on the renovations.

Straw Berry I live in a 1500sqft 3 bed 2 bath home. Roughly the same sqft of theirs. My electric bill is roughly $100 a month keeping my air at 67 in the summer and 73-74 in the winter. My gas bill is roughly $30 a month and my water bill is accumulated every three months and is about $50 a month. $180 for all three bills at the same sq footage. I’m in the US so I don’t know how Canada works, but if those three bills of your are half your salary I would look for leaks and you bills to make sure you’re only using your power. I should also add I’m a family of 4 plus 3 dogs.

Straw Berry it really depends on where you live in Canada. It varies DRASTICALLY. Closer to the bigger cities (Toronto, Vancouver..) it’s extremely expensive. I live about an hour outside of Toronto and the cost of living is very expensive, especially compared to the average income. More rural areas are usually more affordable. Canada is such a massive place, it’s really impossible to lump it all together 🤷‍♀️

Hey Delilah, if you want to put a garden in next year I highly recommend you rip all the stuff out and get your soil prepped (and then mulched) before your ground freezes. That way you can get started as early as possible in the spring! Because you have such a short growing season you really don’t want to eat up precious time getting the garden ready! You can throw raked leaves over the soil to protect it over the winter AND it will compost and add lots of good organic material to the soil to enrich it in the spring :) just turn it into the soil when the ground thaws!! Good luck💗 the house is beautiful!!!

Yeah I would use the “playroom” in the beginning as the dining room and then the little “dining room” in the kitchen as a little playroom. Because the kids can be around you playing while you cook. I remember that I never used my playroom as a kid and always brought my toys to where my mom was “busy” so I could have her company.

I don’t think that will fly. With kids as young as theirs, they really need to be on the same level as a parent. They have a lower level playroom in their current house and they often lament that they can’t keep all the toys upstairs where they’d get more use.

Congratulations!! In Australia it's illegal to have a pool without a fence around it because of how dangerous it is for kids. My sister almost drowned as a kid cause she slipped under the pool cover when my parents didn't see and it was so quiet - it was only because a family friend saw her that she was pulled out. So please please please consider getting a fence around the pool!!

Not just Australia! But in Canada it’s often a municipal issue. The city I live in requires a fence around pools. But it may be that where she is in SK does not. If I was them, I’d install one ASAP. Or, they could add a fence and gate for that little side yard behind the pool house and that would be one safe place they could leave the kids for a minute if they needed to run into the house. Similarly, they could put railings and gate on the deck to enclose it, too.

About the lattice fence, I have one of those in my community garden, and we chose morning glories to plant around it. If you do not know, morning glories are flowering vines that come in all sorts of colours and I highly recommend them for any kind of vine use. I live in a slightly warmer area than you, but not by much, and although they are not perennials, they have so many seeds they might as well be. I highly recommend.

Hi Delilah, I’m so happy about your lovely new and roomy new home. I live in Tasmania, Australia and two differences I have noted between us and Canada. One; we just call the laundry, “the laundry” not the laundry room. A funny discrepancy! ☺️ Two; our laws insist upon all pools being fenced. Glass fencing is so un-obtrusive and still keeps the garden looking spacious. As a mother of 5 children, I really appreciate letting the children out into the backyard with minimal supervision for them to play. Absolutely no insults or negative vibes from me to you, I wish you all a happy move, regards Susan. 🇳🇿

This house is so your vibe Delilah! Congrats! Loved the video!

I think it's so funny how you talk about a rather old home being build in 1965, whereas here in The Netherlands you call a home old when its build before the war, and a lot of houses are even built long before that. It just shows the differences in cultures, which I love about youtube :)

If you are staying in the house long term, fill in the pool in favour of more yard space. You hardly have any summertime to use it, and with small children, it’s a drowning risk, not to mention the cost and time it takes to maintain it
