The drive from Dartmouth to Toronto took place over 2 days, with a stop at the Hotel Berniese near Quebec City providing a much needed rest between stints. During the drive we were in contact with Paulette, our real estate agent who was tabling the offer for the house. Talk about an interesting drive.
At approximately 11:00 pm we received the final counter offer from the vendor, and it was clear then that we had the house. So here are the details:
65 year old country home, located 30 minutes from Halifax/Dartmouth on 1.3 acres of land. 3 Bedrooms, 2 bathrooms - 1-3 pc and 1-4 pc. A sunroom at the front of the house. A dining room off of the kitchen with a built in china cabinet. A den with a woodstove (the house has the original vents to allow heat to move from floor to floor). A 2 tier deck at the back with access from patio doors located in the living room. An unfinished basement that contains ample storage, laundry hook-ups, etc. A covered verandah with space for a few comfortable chairs. A paved circular driveway that runs behind the house and back out to the road. A garage, with concrete pad. A shed. And...a chicken coop with 4 chickens.

Cool! How about a Google Maps link?
Sounds like an awesome place. :-)
Hey! That's awesome! We're so pleased and excited for you both.
Will you be moved in by Aug 9, when we come for P&P's wedding?
What's the address? A chicken coop?!
1.3 acres?? Wow! What a lovely home. It looks perfect.
All my love

Just so's you know...John Marx is your brother in law. Don't ask. It's a long drawn out story about a Lost blog we have.
Love the house!

Oh Martin and Jeanette I've been out of commission with a cold and swamped at work and finally (at 5 in the morning no doubt (insomnia too)) I'm finally able to catch up on your adventure....I've missed so much!
Congrats - it looks awesome..and chickens?? who woulda thunk it?
P.S. Ray just bought a webcam so at least we can still "see" each other after you move
