I received your message on Friday. Yes we have now completed (phew!), and are planning our move date, we are in packing mode full swing now! Many, many thanks to you, Dene and everyone else in your office for your diligence, support and invaluable advice, throughout this purchase, and at the several previous instances prior to this. T and I have really appreciated your efforts, and as they say, we could not have done it without you!
