Yesterday evening I stumbled on an excellent deal at Best Buy which managed to save me $35 off of the Beatles box sets that are coming out in a few weeks! These boxsets are not cheap in any way so I will take any savings I can find! Essentially, they have a ‘late summer night’ sale on right now (until 10AM Wednesday morning I believe) where you can get $10 off of an order up to $250 (which would be the Stereo Box Set) and $25 off of anything over $250 (which would be the Mono box set). Beatles fans (or those wanting a large item!), get in there now!
After work yesterday I headed over to Alex’s place to help him move. Luckily my body has been through a warm up session the night before by helping Michael move a few items. It was quite a hot day and I think I started to feel perspiration on the forehead as soon as we lifted the empty cardboard TV box! Alex and Holly managed to get a lot of work done in the past month and all that was left were large items that we filled into the truck. James and Matt showed up later on, as well as Mike G who showed up just as we loaded the last box (but was instrumental in the move at the new place). Alex and I were having a laugh at some of the situations we ended up in while moving large items which required tricky maneuvering. Unfortunately the four of us had no real idea how he got the table saw in his basement without taking it apart so Matt took it apart and we managed to finally get it out of the house.
One U-Haul truckload later (yay! Didn’t see that happening), we headed to their new house. Mike and I took a wrong turn at one point and ended up in some swank area of town. We then realized this couldn’t be the place so we continued on and found the real spot. They live in a great little neighbourhood south of Ottawa which reminds me of home. It reminds me so much of home that I am officially looking for a house like theirs. I loved the fact that they had a double garage with an additional work area in the back with a fire stove. That’s a real man’s area if I’ve ever seen one! Heck, the place even has a chicken coop!
The move went quite quickly after that and we ended the night with some great pizza and beer (is this a Canadian moving tradition or is this felt around the world?). The house is in renovation mode with all the walls torn out in the basement as well as the lack of a shower, but it shall come along. It’s a great house and I’m sure will see a lot of fun times in it in the future!
