phillyb Posted March 28, 2023 Author Share Posted March 28, 2023 When I moved out of CA back to PA, there was a 3 month overlap where I slept in my car outside of my job in CA. My car was a fucking mazda miata at the time, so only a two-seater (I feel like I've told this story before lol) and extremely uncomfortable. I was jealous of the dude who had a full sheet of cardboard who could sprawl out on the pavement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put in an offer on a new condo, which I fucking love, but the seller hasn't responded and now I'm freaking the fuck out. I have to move in a month and idk where the fuck I'm gonna go hahaha. My car isn't big enough for me, my gf, and my animals. FUCKKKK Buy a motor home. Travel while you work. Figure out where you want to reside on your time. Or get one of those extended stay hotel rooms. Some accept pets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillyb Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 I shouldn't jump the gun. We've come to an agreement on price, but she hasn't signed the contract. Apparently they've been getting a lot of requests for showings. I'm so fucking nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I somehow take this shit in stride and things fall into place, but I'm freaking the fuck out cause I want this place lol. 4 minutes ago, Pete said: are you staying in Chicago? Ugh, yes. Which was option 692 on my want list, but in reality, it's just easy and simple for me for now. I'll plan my exit strategy over the next few years. With that being said, I went for this place cause if I don't end up with an exit strategy, I'll be happy dying in that place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillyb Posted April 3, 2023 Author Share Posted April 3, 2023 @siddious No appliances and the cabinets and countertops are old, though functional. I'ma get an oven/stove/range and fridge in there and then figure out what the space needs and dictates to me over time. But yeah, I went into it kinda knowing that it needs a full kitchen renovation.

I bet those cabinets are all built out of good quality lumber rather than shit particle board that everything is made of these days. Can chance you can save yourself some money and keep some of them and just get new doors for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
