Our little house on Spadina Rd. was at a great location - in the middle of the Annex neighborhood and 100 meters from the TTC subway station. All in all, a perfect location. Shira could get from the house to her lab in under ten minutes door to door!
The internal condition of the house however was a disaster. We set to work - plastering, painting cleaning and then some...
Ray, our neighbor downstairs, was incharge of the house maintenance for the landlord, Alex. He fixed all the tiles in the bathroom and fixed the peeling ceiling.
We also started the buying frezy to fill up the apartment since we had no furniture at all. IKEA helped us alot as did neighbors who moved out of their place and left chairs and tables and other treasures to anyone willing to carry them away.
After a few weeks, our shipment of personal items from Israel also arrived and made us very happy - finally having a piece of our old home with us.
After two months of hard work and settling in the place looked hospitable.
