The Terra Cotta Community Hall Restoration is well under way. A big crane came to the site and lifted the Hall a few feet over so a new basement can be dug. The old structure is now being placed back on the new foundation and re built. Keen local community folks and all those who wish to help or and have an interest can help with the re building process. Help is appreciated in kind or through any support and fund raising activities. Take a look at the Village Web site http://www.terra-cotta.ca/ for further info and contacts.

When should I sell my home? Your answer to this question might be right now! If you have taken a job in another city or made an offer on a new home, or had an addition to your family, selling your home fast might be the most important goal you have. Most people, however, have some flexibility when they sell their home. Let us take a closer look at the most important factors that can go into this decision.
A great many moves in our lives are to larger residences to accommodate growing families. Or, perhaps our financial development allows us to move up to a larger home with more features and amenities. There is no stress involved in trying to reduce our life’s stuff to fit into a smaller place. If anything, we just need to shop for some more furniture for the new larger place.
