ok here we go. Outrageous manifestation list for my new place, thank you my therapist:
bathtub in bathroom
Bedroom
Kitchen with gas
Dinning/living area
Enclosed/covered garage area
Extra storage
Workshop shed
Fireplace
More wood than carpet
Not boxy or manufactured
Lots of sunlight
Good land around it with a tree or two
Space for a garden and chook coop
Washer/dryers in house
Sky lights
Covered porch
No traffic sounds
No immediate neighbors
But nice neighbors
and here is where I get ridiculous:
Energy efficiency- solar, radiant heat etc.
Low flush toilet
Gray water system
Hot tub
Free internet
All this goes without saying:
No draughts or holes, roof leaks, bad sealing, plumbing, rattling windows, torn up floors/walls, mildew, mold, insects, or rodents. Or crazy landloards.
Funny thing is i just got an email off of rent.com from a cancer survivor, biker, retired bladesmith, 40 year old bear, in Austin looking for a room mate and asking about the forge. Nifty eh? Makes me think that maybe i was a bear in some other life time. The only thing that definitely doesn't fit is my aversion to back/chest hair and man smell.
I booked my Pensky truck for the 27th, gonna buy myself an extra day or two probably. It was cheaper than the PODS idea though that would have been really nice. This way i'll have to unload the truck into a storage facility in Austin until i find a place.
I learnt after talking to some real estate agents that Austin is at 98% saturation meaning much like Santa Fe things come up (especially one bedrooms) and disappear in a few days. Damn. That's one uncertainty i can't do much about. Someone did take my apartment here though so i don't have to worry about showing it anymore.
