        I was hoping to sell my condo and buy a house this year, but my mother's getting sick and then passing basically ended that for this calendar year. Plus, my girlfriend's coop sale in NY is taking for ev er. So we'll meet with a realtor later this summer/fall, decide if I want to sell my condo and rent for a year and then buy next year, or just sell/buy together. I really hate the whole purchase-contingent-upon-sale thing, and since we're looking to move to an area about an hour from here, it may make more sense to rent for a year and see how we like the area (and how I like the commute) before committing.

        Home values are definitely plateauing around here, so selling in the next 6-12 months and waiting to buy might save us some money. Or might not.

        We're also trying to decide on a house vs. townhouse. I really really don't enjoy yardwork. I don't mind HOA fees that go to maintenance. But last year's experience with our deceased neighbor has really turned me off on multi-dwelling units. I'm currently in a garden style condo and we've only looked at townhouse and duplexes so some of that impact would be mitigated, but all the same...
        I gotta little bit of smoke and a whole lotta wine...

          Have you thought about getting a van and living down by the river?

              Are you moving to NH? If so, or really any further north than where I kind of remember you being, I would definitely test drive the commute. It sucks, but ... *shrug*. I'm looking a jobs in the city and I'm thinking of doing a couple test runs of the commute before even applying since it's likely to be ~90 minutes of commuting (10-15 minutes to the bus, 75 minutes on the bus to South Station, 10-15 minutes to the potential employer).

                      Good morning Lodge. Finished my first week at home on my own. It’s been and will continue to be a challenge. I also went into the office three days and to PT twice so far. I am exhausted.

                          Good Morning, Lodge!

                          Kitchen renovation this weekend. The hard work is done. Just trying to reorganize and utilize storage spaces.

                            I remember looking at public transport until my friend who used it pointed out that if I got out late or they decided to run on a reduced schedule I would have no way home. I drove.

                              It's not ideal, but there are hourly buses, so it's manageable. And for reduced schedule days, I would probably just drive to Riverside and take the T. I'm just in the looking stage.

                                At the time I thought the train was a great option but I didn't realize all the delays, changes which involved busing etc. I never realized how often they happened. That was way back when. Now they talk about it on the news. Where I was living at the time doing what you could would have been a nightmare- I wasn't near the highway and working Eves. If I missed the train I was stuck for the night.
