Button down the hatches as we wait with bated breath for the landing of Hurricane Lee!  Really hoping it’s not as bad as they are predicting!  We’ve cleared off our deck and patio, so nothing here to blow around.  With this gorgeous clear blue sky today, you’d never guess what’s coming around the corner.  TG for technology that’s able to give us ample warning to get ready and be prepared.  The city of Saint John has set out a “Shelter-In-Place” order trying to protect citizens from flying debris of the high winds.  Keep in mind, when this order is out, it’s against the law to go out and about, so if you’re driving a car and get in an accident or your car is hit by flying debris, you’re not covered by insurance.    We’re really hoping there is not too much damage to homes, properties and trees and everyone stays safe.  Terrible time of year for this to be happening as far as the trees go.  With a full head of green leaves, they catch the full force of the wind and with record high amounts of rain this summer, the roots are practically living in mud and can uproot easily.

This weekend we’ll be hunkered down but next Sunday, the 24th Mama is hosting an open house at 133 Westmount Drive, just off Kennebecasis Drive.  MLS# NB085179.  We invite you to join us to view this impeccable home in mint condition with the latest in amenities plus water view and inground pool.  Whole home renovation, inside and out plus total rehaul of the heated pool! (not much I enjoy more than a heated pool).  The house consists of main floor living with living room, dining room, huge kitchen with inviting fireplace, family room, full bath plus powder room, master bedroom suite with walk-in closet and 5-piece ensuite bath, laundry room and mud room all on the first floor.  Two additional bedrooms, library, walk-in linen closet, walk-in cedar closet and full 4-piece bathroom upstairs.  Heated floors in the 3 main floor bathrooms.  Economical ducted heat pumps provide cozy heat and refreshing air conditioning.  Offered at $1,125,000.  Hope to see you there.

Let’s get through the weekend and we’ll chat next week.  Be sure to keep all your furry four-legged friends indoors and sheltered!

Your pal,

Nicholas
