...like a hole in the head

I need another house, like I need a hole in the head.

Seems like our time in the rental house is coming to an end.  The owners can't afford to subsidize our living anymore (the rent is well below what the mortgage is), and the price they want for it isn't what we think it is worth.

So, we must move again. This will be our 4th house lived in the past 2.5 years.

We have looked at 40 homes so far.

Jessie

That must be frustrating.

Did you get rid of the other two?
we should have kept the quote pyramid up to rape Jessie in the face.

Infobahn

Yes, the other two we sold last summer.   We would be living in our car otherwise.

We just have until the end of April to make this happen...

F@#K!

Oh christ.

Well, worst case scenario, you just ship Andy to me.  I'll just sit around and clap and giggle at how cute he is.

I'm sorry you guys have been having such a rough time.  Though I think you can technically call yourselves nomads now... which is kinda cool.

Gamplayerx

I just happen to know of a wonderful house you could buy.  The commute may be a little rough, but hey!  Anything worthwhile is worth a little bit of work.

Sorry you gotta find a house under pressure. Crossing my fingers for you.

What's the big deal? Just make a giant island raft out of milk jugs and soda bottles all tied together in a giant floating island. You can even dump some dirt in one part and grow a palm tree. A PALM TREE. That's fuckin' tropical, man. You are on the Equators!

Oh man, that tropical ocean island raft of yours is going to totally rule. You can like, charge tourists lots of money to come and visit your raft island...and you can generate tons of publicity for the rainforest derainforestation epidemic. Then you can expand your bottle island to a virtually continental scale once the donations totally pour in.

Hot diggity, you gon' be rich!

You need an RV.
No kidding.  I proposed a house boat, but was shot down.

End of April they didn't give you much time.  How is the market up there?  Comparable to the West?

Jessie

Get a nice big tent.  It'll be comfortable temperatures soon enough.

The market is soft.  I think it is going to start getting better, but there are so many homes that are on the market.   This is a good development to buy in, but we could get more if we traveled farther.

We have know about the situation for a couple of weeks   HB is very stressed.  We would have a lot more options if she was working and she is kicking her self (I am not, she doesn't NEED to work).  She wants more of a house than I do.  This house would be 100% perfect if there was a basement.  http://greenstonehomes.com/HomeDisplay.aspx?i=42 

We are probably going to make an offer today.

Gamplayerx

Wow.  A 4-car garage.

Neat floorplan - although a bit odd that you have to go through the potty to get to your clothes.

BigDun

I like the bedroom closet joining the back of the bathroom. Mind you, only if the toilet is in its own room with a door.

BigDun

The only issue I would have with that layout is where will you put the TV? Two of the walls have windows or a patio door and the other has the fireplace.

There's a media center right next to the fireplace.

Not too many homes come with their own garage turntables.

Infobahn

Above the fireplace, they have wired for a flatpanel.  There is also speaker wire for surround.  There will be some glare, but we will deal with that with blinds and LCD over Plasma.

There is a door on the toilet room.  The garage in what we are buying is more like an extended 2 car garage, no a full 4 bay.  I have pictures, and will post some later.  I am still waiting to hear from HB.

Well, I wouldn't like it, 'cause I do my hair before I get dressed, so I wouldn't like to go back in the steamy bathroom and have my 'do frazzle to get my clothes.  So, keep that in mind if you're thinking of buying me a house.

Mine too.  I look like something from National Geographic, except without the saggy boobs.

I think so, Brain, but how will we get the Spice Girls into the paella?

I wish my hair would get frizzy... at least then it would have some sort of volume.   :-\

Gamplayerx

You wouldn't like it.  Trust me.
