House!

Made an offer and accepted a counteroffer on 2565 E Prince, Tucson, AZ 85716. (Google's knowledge of the place is busted; Zillow's is not.) Barring the inspection going terribly or something, I'll be moving around July 22. They're unwilling to fix the hot tub, which needs some repair. I WILL SURVIVE EVEN THIS. (by fixing the hot tub myself because HOT TUB) Seriously, for a tiny amount more than my house in Bloomington, this is just... whoah. It has a fig tree. I am going to sit in my yard by my koi pond eating figs from my fig tree. How will this be my life. Oh did I mention that the master suite is two stories tall and the second story has a library with stained-glass windows and a deck that looks out on the mountains? Because it is and it does! ...it doesn't have a door but who's counting. ;) (I might just put up a bead curtain, because cats. Whatever, we will work it out.)

Oh, and speaking of awesome, it looks like my girlfriend [livejournal.com profile] krinndnz  is going to be joining me there, if not immediately after I move, within a month or so. This is a huge thing and an awesome thing and a little scary and we're really excited to be doing it. There will be two rooms for housemates; one of them will probably be [livejournal.com profile] zanazibar and the other one... we have no idea yet! Clearly we need to find a fourth furry gender theorist. I'm sure Tucson is large enough that it will have another one. ;)

ZOMG why did you not mention this when we were chatting FIVE MINUTES AGO!

That is fantastic! Congratulations, and fingers crossed that the inspection goes well. <3

Hooray! I thought that one had the coolest looking pics of the houses you posted.

That sounds like a pretty amazing house! I'm glad to see that house-shopping resulted in excitement for you, rather than frustration. :)

Holy shit. This makes me want to visit Arizona, and after last time I was there – over a decade ago! – I didn't think such a thing could happen.

I would think Tucson would be too hot for furries.

Coyotes-born-coyote manage it just fine, I'm sure the rest of us can do it too. ;)

Good luck! I hope the inspection turns up nothing worse than the broken hot tub.

Thank you, and of course!

Congratulations!

Also, my god I am seeing My Little Pony user icons everywhere now! If you haven't seen Watchponies (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1hETuP33r8), it's kind of awesome.

I have, and I am fond of it --- there are a whole lot of great pony trailers out there. :)

We'll have to motorcycle road-trip out to visit you guys once you get settled. :D

Holy _swank_ Batman. I am super chuffed for you. <3

Sooooooooooo excited to have you there. <3 <3 <3

Awesome!

The house *does* look pretty boss, but it seems I'll have to harass you about teaching me how to ride a bike.

Seguiré molestándote luego. Te veo pasado mañana. :D

[identity profile] rax.livejournal.com 2011-06-21 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
It's really not that bad by bus --- it's not as good as Glenn, but the 17 picks up within a block or so and takes you to the 4 which goes right through campus, or you can walk a few blocks to two lines that go directly through campus (15 and 103x).

That said, I am more than happy to help you with biking :)

What I want a library with stained-glass windows and a deck that looks out on the mountains ._.

A broken hot tub, is that all? I seem to recall you once fixed a flooded basement in the rain with a hosepipe, duct tape, a speaker, and a bilge pump with the wrong size hose attachment and just two bare wires sticking out of it.

[identity profile] rax.livejournal.com 2011-06-22 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeswell. I think I would like this fixed more permanently than that. :)

[identity profile] cshiley.livejournal.com 2011-06-21 12:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh my god. If I didn't have other things I was doing and didn't hate heat, I would totally consider moving to tucson to be a furry gender theorist with you.

That place is wonderful.

Pardon me while I have a jealous snit fit about the cost of awesome real estate where I live.

[identity profile] rax.livejournal.com 2011-06-22 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
The large bedroom would fit twooooooooo....

I must come covet your fig tree sometime. (Although it looks like I will continue to be employed after July and unable to help you move. But some other time.)

[identity profile] rax.livejournal.com 2011-06-22 02:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll send you pictures so that you can covet it long-distance in the meantime. :)

Oh wow, that sounds like an amazing dream house! I have to admit that I'm quite jealous. :D

[identity profile] rax.livejournal.com 2011-06-22 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty flabbergasted that I got it. :) Thank you!

Happiness and comfort to you and your new den! Just remember to put fifty smoke detectors around the stove and you should be fine.

[identity profile] rax.livejournal.com 2011-06-22 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Hah! That housemate is not coming along, although I will still be making sure there is a fire extinguisher...
