Yup 4th year apprentice.
Bought a land rover as i have had a few at home and know a bit about them.
Insurance is $2000 without no claims or $1000 if i can get my 7+ year no claims changed in to a Canadian format (ex insurance company not willing to help)
Basement apartment (we really didn't want a basement) but really bright and massive ceilings with windows at standard height in Crowfoot NW $900 all utilities included
And Job in Cochrane so don't have the rat run in the morning.
The only thing Mike Homes is good for is a tv show.

What did you do in the UK if you don't mind me asking - you said it's a bit different. We're hoping to move to Cochrane and my husband is an industrial electrician....
Thanks
