Can't Wait to Get a House, Part 1

The past few months Elaina and I have been looking for a good area to buy a home. Since our lease is up in March, we have plenty of time to find a good neighborhood, and in light of recent blogs, we are taking our time to make sure it's not ghetto. However, as each day goes by, our apartment complex becomes increasingly more annoying. In the next few months, we will be posting why we can't wait to get a house.

A few months ago our apartment complex had a hail storm. Some six months later, the apartment decided to refurbish each building. What does this mean for us? That's right, dirty people working on our building all hours of the day, including weekends. The past few Saturday mornings Elaina and I were rudely awoken by the clanking and clammering of ladders, Mexicans, and big power tools.

I almost shit myself when I opened my blinds to see this:

I mean, they were right outside our window. I was standing there, butt naked and these guys were painting the side of our building, which, by the way, was never even touched by the hail.

Unfortunately, we did not get pictures of the sketchy guys staring at Elaina every morning when we left for work. Maybe we'll get some of those soon.

Needless to say, we're very excited about getting a house so we won't have to deal with this.

When we were looking for a good neighborhood to move into we visited it at night with the car windows down. Sometimes neighborhoods change totally once the sun goes down. Also, find a place where there are established trees and shrubs; you'll have an easier time growing things outside because lots of plants/flowers need shade, plus landscaping can reduce your heating/cooling costs by 20%. Try to interview some neighbors first, and note whether people take care of their yards/homes.
