For those of you wondering, we are finally in our new home. On the road to Cranbrook, we made one final pit-stop for gas in Radium, B.C. where Karen was able to snap a picture of this ram that was walking with 5 other rams about 20 feet from where Daryl was filling the truck. The sheep didn't seem to bother the folks of Radium. I (Karen) had no idea that these wild sheep are viewed as permanent residents, because they are always there, walking down the streets.
Here are the outside shots of our new house. We got a good deal but have to make many repairs and fix a lot of damage. This was a "court ordered" sale, as the "crazy cat" lady who owned it was put (permanently) in an institution... more to follow.
Well, after a couple of weeks filled with distractions, our master bath is finally done. There are still a few paint touch-ups to do and we still need some towel bars put up but it once again a functioning bathroom with no mold or rot. Stay tuned because Karen plans to do another post when all is in place. 
One of the things we have missed most since moving is our wood stove, especially when it's -26 Celcius outside. On Monday the guys came and installed the stove and chimney. It is big enough to heat the entire house (2528 sq/ft) and looks very nice. Daryl installed the tile hearth and we have plans to put stone on the walls behind it.
After vacuuming and shampooing the carpets (lots... remember crazy cat lady) We immediately turned to fixing and patching holes. In the living room alone, Karen stopped counting after filling 106 holes. There was also four fist sized holes which Daryl had to patch and repair (pics #2 and #4...yes it's the same wall) before Karen could paint (look how high she is.... once again, dealing with her phobias), as shown above.
