The Money Pit

-12 and partly cloudy in Tsiigehtchic today.
Sunrise at 9:48 and Sunset at 18:28.
8 more minutes than my last blog!  Walking around with no hat or mittens!

Well my boxes are arriving Wednesday.  I have gotten used to just the little I brought with me and I wonder if I will really need all those boxes!  I will let you know on Wednesday.  All the food will defintely be good as well as more clothes.  The hardest thing to find is clothing.  People order most of their clothing.

I came home from Inuvik to a new floor in the livingroom.  There were some busy little elves here all last week.  The carpet was pretty dirty.  I used a hair dryer to get several blobs of wax out of it in the first few days I was here.

So...here it is...the virtual tour of The Magic Bus.  I will sell it to you for 250 000.  Yes that is the price of real estate in these parts.  Any takers?  I am just renting but there are some houses for sale here and they cost between 200 000 - 300 000.  They are not always very big either.  Apparently it is the cost of building and laying the foundation because of the permafrost.  A lot of houses are on stilts above the ground.
