I got a phone call just after I got up this morning, from an aunt living here in town.
My cousin has a long term lease on a small 1 bedroom country house house here.
The thing is, he lives in Saskatchewan. He's been subletting it out since he moved out there, 6 months ago.
Well, the person whom he was renting it to is moving on, so it's just been offered to me at a very affordable price.
When I got the call I wasn't sure about it, since it's an older house and not as nice as my place.
However the more that I thought about it the more I like the idea.
Like I said, it's an older, one bedroom house, with a full kitchen and bathroom... unlike my place which is around 10 years old, with hotplates and a shower in the washroom.
It has a nice little basement, which should be good as a studio
My living room here is a studio however it's just too bright for some work
Plus the new (old) house has hardwood floors (my cousin is a floor layer, and did them himself), and a nice LARGE yard
After the problems I've had lately this might be the best part..... my closest neighbors are a couple of hundred...... YARDS Away
That's right, Yards, Not Feet.
Oddly enough I had to think about it most of the day. I would have said Yes immediately a week ago, however they've been good upstairs since then.
However, I hate moving so it was a tough decision.
It now looks like the place is mine. I can move in at the begin of next month.
I'm meeting up with my present LL tomorrow, so I guess that I'll have to break the news with her.
We've become friends over the 2+ years since I've moved in here, so it'll be tough telling her. However I think that we've both known for a while that it's almost time for me to move on.
Just a warning, if anyone comes up to visit me in the summer months. It isn't air conditioned. For me it doesn't really mater, since I'm used to the hot summers, however it might not be good for some people not used to the heat.
