Sometimes thing just work out well. In this case, the person who is buying our house (actually, the representative for the LLC that is buying it) mentioned a house I had looked at before. Originally the house I looked at was for sale and I enquired about leasing it for a year. The realtor said no.
But now it’s for rent and off the for sale market. I called today in a frantic panic after Kim went by to get the phone number (the house is within spitting distance of hers, just about). It was still available for $1400. After calling Kim back as she cased the joint and reminded me what was what, I called back and told them I’d take it. Rather more spontaneous than I’m used to, but I remember the view and the charm of the house, and that there wouldn’t be a lot to clean or heat, so I took a chance. Kim met me at the house when the owner showed up to take a look and helped talk her down a few bucks on the dog aspect of things (knocking $50 off the original price). And then later I brought Sabrina by to take a look. Both of them loved it and thus, I’ll move in on the 26th, if not sooner bit by bit. I’ll post some pictures soon. It’s cute, cozy, small with a great view. It meets all my needs and a few of my wants. It’ll do.
Peter….you say “I’ll post some pictures soon. It’s cute, cozy, small with a great view.” If you posted pictures I sure can’t find them! Do you hide them somewhere? :-) The written commentary is great, but personally, I’d rather have less commentary and MORE PICTURES. You also say to see the gallery” for pictures in one of your other commentaries but I can’t find a link to a “gallery” anywhere…..help!!! If pictures are posted on this web site, why can’t I find them!!!
