What did you accomplish today?

[Laughing Grass]

mortgage burning parties must be a Canadian thing judging from the laughing reactions.

I don't even think we have a copy of it, if we do I have no idea where it is. I'll just be happy when the title arrives.

your lawyer will have a copy.

It's quite the weight off of your shoulders.

Congrats!

Never needed one of those, thankfully.

Shelf made and installed in the fish tank cabinet. I actually found a couple half sheets of plywood in my wood stack so I cut the top out of that. I sanded it down, now I'm trying to figure out a stain color that will be close to the cabinet color. Only one I had on hand is walnut, not even close.

You didn't use a real estate lawyer when you purchased the house?

We refinanced years ago, didn't need one to do that. The initial purchase we went to the title office for the county.

I think our escrow, title and other fees run way more than that! Lawyer sounds like a deal in Canada!

Except in Toronto. We're the only city in the province with a land transfer tax. An average house will cost $16k for the LTT

Your apartment?
edit: out here apartments are rent only; either long term or month to month rent. Condos are what you can buy, they are apartment-like

 

[raratt]

It cost $170 for the county to transfer ownership to us, we should get the deed in a month or so.

It's not an apartment, we don't have anyone above or below us. It was an office plaza that was converted residential in the 70's, it's classified as a condo.
