Another Rough Day

[cornerofmadness]

Work is still a shit storm but it was the morning that was rough. I was awoken at 730 by the doctor's office to tell me my 1130 apt was canceled (her kid was sick) which was okay but then I got three more calls before 830 including one for the original owner of my number who for 13 years has been using this number as a contact # for places she plans to never pay and I get all the collection calls.

My edits are still murdering me but what I wanted to share was the house we found. Right price. BEAUTIFUL inside...in an area of town so tightly packed I could have less privacy there than I do now. SIgh. I live in the middle of nowhere. DO I give up my chances for a yard and a garden and deer etc for something so in town it hurts. On the other hand, the house is adorable. check it out here Sigh.

It gets worse, just a few blocks away is another absolutely gorgeous house packed in like sardines check it out here


Then there's this one that's out of my price range in Albany that I want just for that shelter cave. Though dudes, I KNOW it's Ohio but you can't vent the damn wood burning stove INTO your own eaves. check it out here

I do sort of love this one outside of the price but it's a bit far to the west, even further from most of my non-work friends. check it out here

And lastly we ALL loved this house but couldn't figure out why it was relatively inexpensive until we Google Earthed it. My SHARED driveway is over a quarter of a mile and DIRT. I don't have the ability to plow that. I don't have a vehicle that wouldn't care I can't plow it. I might go look at this house anyhow and see how the people living there now get around check it out here

Love the houses - the 2nd one I liked more for smallest of reasons. The last one also has just one bathroom - that would in itself be out for me (well, second to the dirt road!) :P

For the region, I had imagined it would be more spaced out. and the houses be more further away from each other? By local standards here, they are pretty spread out though. But that's here and not there.

Mom and I were talking about why there is such intense clustering in the towns here. I think that because 100 years ago when a lot of these towns were built the surrounding areas were heavily farmed so that land wasn't available. There is PLENTY of land here.

Yeah I live alone and even I'm like 'i'llhave to add a bathroom to any single bathroom home I see, then I grew up in a family of 4 with only 1 bath.
