Love It or Leave It - Your Renovation Questions Answered
  
Eventbrite Event for April
This month, I have teamed up with a realtor (Kerri Markle), a lawyer (Corrine Fiesel), a builder (Gerard Williams) and a home insurance specialist (Nivi Uppal).
We are hosting an information evening for you or anyone you may know who has been considering alternatives between renovating your existing home or selling your home and purchasing a home that better suits your needs.
The event will be held at the Lake Bonavista Community Association on Wednesday, April 25 from 7pm to 830pm. I'm really excited about all the information that will be given.
Kerri will talk about how your home is valued and what renovations will increase your value and what renovations may not increase the value as much.
I will talk about ways to finance renovations and options for financing renovations on a new home you may wish to purchase instead.
Gerard will speak about common renovations being done, general costs and what to look for in the contractor that you choose.
Corrine will discuss the legal aspects of selling your home, renovating and purchasing. She will provide tips on how to protect your title, why you may need a new real property report and more.
Nivi will review how home insurance works and explain what questions you must ask your contractor before you let him even step foot in your home!

LED Lighting Event
You'll probably remember that I had talked about an event that I hosted last month with Tracy Grills with EcoLighting.
The event was a real success. We had 30 people register with Eventbrite and 25 ended up attending. Many of the participants had been experimenting with different things to get their plants growing indoors.
Tracy with EcoLighting had a fantastic presentation and talked about the new lights that he was having his manufacturers create. These new lights are like viagra for plants and showing some of the experiments that he has been doing, the difference in growth between his lights and the other lights is dramatic!
If you missed the event but are still interested in finding out more, let me know and I can introduce you to Tracy and his team.
Spring Skiing Fun
We have certainly had some weird "spring" weather, if I can call it spring yet?
However, the snow is just fantastic in the mountains. Over the last couple of weeks, I've had a change to get out and really enjoy skiing with Lillian, Danielle, Matthew and Matthew's friend Brendan.
We have a family membership at Nakiska and sometimes it's hard to get out with all the other sporting activities that the kids are involved in. This spring, I have really had a lot of fun! We are definitely going to make some more time to get out to the slopes before the hill closes.
You'll notice that the picture is with just Lillian and I. Apparently, we are a little too slow for the young skiers so we get to hang out and have fun on our own.
