For DL!
As usual, there are a NUMBER of fairly-large houses being sold here in 
Oshawa.
for prices ranging from $99,000 to below $199,000! I know what you probably
need...a large-ish vintage house (they are better built, and can hold more 
records
without sagging.../!) with, one guesses, a detached garage (MORE 
storage!)...?!
