For the peeps moving to Windsor soon, thought you'd be interested

Probably some other new Canadian cities on there today too?

I believe Fredericton is on there now, for those interested.

Wow! In NS at least, lots of small towns are now covered and a fair number of rural roads as well.

The one benefit of Google Street View is that it makes places like Windsor look positively glamorous in comparison to areas just a few minutes drive away.

Great I was just looking at houses around Southwood Lakes too - will have to see how they look on streetview

Kelowna is there too. Just spent ages trawling the streets, what fun.

Ooo our village is on there, and where I work. Exciting

I need to get out more

Ditto.

So is dead rear

Thanks
I had better have a look at those other lots on Brooklyn then
Ta very much!
Out of interest....who di you use to ship your goods to Canada....currently getting quotes...its a minefield out there!

Hi
We have driven round Southwood Lakes and it is a nice area
just FYI
Stef

Yeah looks really nice on street view too - Not as nice as Pointe West Amherstburg(my preferred location) but I'm not sure if anything will become available over there...

BTW - shipping we had quotes from GB liners, Doree Bonner & Robinsons. GB liners came in at 5.2k Doree Bonner 4.8k and Robinsons 4.5K..

We liked GB liners and Doree Bonner but the reviews for GB liners were the best so we decided to email GB's the other quotes to see if they could match our lowest which he did even got them to remove the credit card surcharge

So we will be using GB liners

We only shipped boxes of stuff and disposed of the rest in the UK, so probably not much help. We used SevenSeas for this - they were somewhat un-orthodox, but the stuff got here in the end with only some minor breakages, so can't complain.

Hi
Pointe West is lovely, we do have friends living in Ironwood........but it is not nice in the snow...on the edge of remoteness I think, depending on where you want to work. Thanks for the info re shippers. I am looking at a 40' container so the prices currently being bandied about are between 6 - 7.5k
I will look at GBLiners Thanks
lol

40ft container Blimey!! Thats a lot of stuff... mine is all going in a 20ft with room to spare although I am leaving some things due to renting out my property...

My wife fell in love with a property on Ironwood funnily enough I really liked a house in Fescue. They look even better from what I remember looking at them on streetview
