I like it, you don't have to worry about keeping up appearances. Small rooms can be a lot cozier in cold or stormy weather. Even closing off rooms to make it easier to heat is an option. Heating oil is sky high this fall, is the heat water or air?

Air
I like the idea of closing off rooms. The owner has graciously given me -- just out of the blue -- $600 in PECO (electricity) credit, and offered to pay the monthly bill for an alarm company. OKAY! Although that makes me believe there's a reason for the alarm system. Guess I'll find out. Maybe once Pearl goes I should get a bigger dog? |

I LOVE it! it gives off a 'cabin in the woods' kind of vibe that might be charming or scary as hell depending on how you play it. I DO love funky old places. The McMansions they currently build around here are sickening and they all look exactly the same - huge monstrosities. If you came home drunk there is a very good chance you'd wind up in the wrong home thinking it was your own. I hate the same-ness of today's unimaginative architecture in which HUGE = BEST. I little little eases, cozy cottages. I love my own house even though I bitch about it. It's pretty much a three bedroom cottage, really. Needs work- but, hey, after Dec. 21st, who's gonna notice?

I also have to air condition it in 7 months... probably
In this case I wish I could buy the ACs on Craigslist right now, because they are dang cheap for an awful lot... two portable units would probably do this entire place |

Hopefully the people who procrastinated will decide to upgrade in the spring and be giving the old ones away. This gives you 7 months to decide which rooms you actually live in and see how large a harem you accumulate.

Tony, since you're going to selfishly spend your money on luxuries like food and moving, I guess we'll have to pony up to keep the Cellar running for a couple months.

I had a big ol' plate of spaghetti just last night!!
Already the boxes accumulate... and I'm sorting out my life with this, too; for the first time ever, my various cables and AC adapters are in marked plastic drawers. Book boxes are separated by books I care about and books that can perish in a flood. I sold 95% of my vinyl records (400 of them, for $175). (Kept the 5% that are valuable) Great sentimental value, but I haven't played any of them in 10 years. |

Naw couldn't do it my wife's been nagging me for years to dump my records but i just can't clear the space, fuck they can bin them when I'm dead but until they're mine too many memories Your new place looks like it would be ok in summer, whats the snow like in the winter?, could be fun digging the car out. All the best for your move hope everything goes ok |
