moving?

Maybe! To a house!
Just renting, though.
My sister and I went and took a tour of it on a whim last night. Since the house is also for sale, I wasn't sure it'd even be a viable option.

Pros:
  • No smoke seeping through walls
  • Our noise only around us
  • Two-car garage, plus option of a pole shed
  • Four bedrooms; kitchen, dining room, living room with hardwood floors; some sort of sunroom
  • Really awesome gigantic deck out back
  • Firepit
  • Fireplace
  • Property backs up to a creek
  • Property is just outside of town, about 1/5 mile from our parents
  • Property is also nearby the end of a major walking/biking trail that connects to town
  • I could get newspaper subscriptions because we'd have a dropbox on the road
Cons:
  • Space is not as 'divided' as we intended to find -- i.e. no possibility of unofficial subletting, sharing pretty much everything
  • Only one bathroom, really; a second is in the scary basement
  • Basement gets a little water sometimes, but, we would probably never go down there
  • No dishwasher, but we also don't have dishwashers right now
  • Really ... bold paint colors. But, we are allowed to repaint. One of the three of us is a licensed contractor with a painting business.
