Title: New digs.
Post by: Quemaqua on Sunday, March 07, 2010, 06:16:33 PM
For those who care.

So, it doesn't look like much from the outside, really.  I mean, it kind of looks like shit, to be honest, but it's much better once you get inside.

Neighboring yard.

Coming in from the front door you can see down the main "hall" to the kitchenette.

Looking back at the front door.  The living room is off to the right, can't see it too well.  It doesn't extend very far.

Bedroom is pretty tiny, but it's fine for me.

In-unit laundry, always a nice feature.

Bathroom is pretty nice, actually.

Kitchenette isn't bad at all, either.  It's big enough for me easily, and has pretty good counter space for such a small area.  I've made a number of great meals already, even without many tools.  Now that I've got more, cooking has improved.

And that's about it.  I'm liking it pretty well so far.  The area is really nice and there are lots of good shops and places to eat around.  Moving wasn't something I really wanted to do, but I guess this is what they call making the best out of a bad situation.

Wow... I am a little jealous. I wish I could live alone in a nice little place like that.

uhh...

Heh, I had an extra "i" in the image tags.  Sy fixed them as I was fixing them, but I guess I beat him to it because his name shows up last.

Wow, from the outside I would thought it was a dilapidated shack.  It doesn't look too bad on the inside.  It does look kind of small though.

haha iPPi the shack thing was a joke...

Que had initially mistyped some of the imaging code so the pictures weren't showing. I fixed them.

Also, I saw the place myself yesterday. It's not a joke.

Nice buddy.  Did you rent it pre-furnished?

Also, does this mean Borderlands can commence soon?
Title: Re: New digs.
Post by: Quemaqua on Sunday, March 07, 2010, 07:59:17 PM
Heh, not pre-furnished, no.  It's all my own stuff.  Well, the laundry stuff is theirs, and island in the kitchenette.  Beyond that, all mine.

And yes, Borderlands must resume soon.  It'll be a bit hard to play with my current setup, but I bet I could manage.  We'll have to see.  I'm planning to pick up the DLC shortly.

Nice little place you got there, guess I'll be seeing it in person in a couple of weeks.  We'll try not to get you kicked out when we all come over.
Title: Re: New digs.
Post by: Quemaqua on Sunday, March 07, 2010, 10:31:24 PM
Yeah, that would kind of be awesome.  Because I kind of like it here, shack or not.

So sacrificial rituals and meth cooking are out of the question then?
Title: Re: New digs.
Post by: Quemaqua on Sunday, March 07, 2010, 10:38:31 PM
Rituals are okay if they can be done quietly.  Meth is less okay because I'm not convinced that you won't blow us all the kingdom come.

You live in a shack? That's awesome. What's the insulation/noise like? And what percentage rent would you be paying for a comparable place in an actual building?

How can that be the inside of what looks like a shack? That looks amazing. :=O

Post by: Quemaqua on Sunday, March 07, 2010, 10:47:08 PM
Eh, you know.  It's cheap.  The termites can be a bit noisy, but they give me free bug spray that usually stops them for an hour or two.

I'm still in disbelief.  Need a video of you walking around the shack and opening the front door and stepping in.

jesus, you guys are dumb!

nice place though.

I am sorry Beo, but in the hellhole of a country I am living in right now, when you see a shack, the inside looks like a fucking shack. :P

edit:

I need to see a picture of the front, with the door and the three windows.

i just heard that the word "gullible" isn't in the dictionary any more - you should go check your copy...

Que lives in a shack. That's just the way it is and will always be.

Post by: Pugnate on Monday, March 08, 2010, 06:51:57 AM
Well, I thought it was a joke until Sirean said it wasn't.

I believe him, because he has never lied to us about anything ever over the years.

Notice I have yet to say anything.  I've been burned enough times around here lately.   :P
Title: Re: New digs.
Post by: Quemaqua on Monday, March 08, 2010, 08:01:38 AM
Haha, I can't believe anyone could possibly think it was a shack for even half a second.  The shack is on my property, however, basically right in front of the place.  The real front of my place is pretty nondescript.  I was going to post a picture of that later once the joke was done, until I realized I didn't have one on the camera, so I just left it, not imagining that I'd get so much amusement out of this thread in the process.   :P

 ;D

The interior of the new place looks good anyway.  Hope it works well for you.
Title: Re: New digs.
Post by: ren on Monday, March 08, 2010, 06:22:57 PM
I think you should remodel the interior of the shack and move in there.

Yeah that shack looks awesome, you got a bad deal.

i totally love it!! i swear, that's so much better than places i've seen here in Oahu. ' are you allowed to use the yard?

we've moved too.. it's been really tiring moving while pregnant. We got a two bedroom apartment--but rental rates here are insane.. with the amount we're paying here, we could get a huge house in CA or elsewhere.

Post by: Quemaqua on Monday, March 15, 2010, 07:28:33 AM
Rental rates have gotten insane here too, mostly.  I looked all over and found terrible deals in terrible neighborhoods... then found this and it was almost an instant sell.

Can't really use the yard, but that's okay.  I don't really have time or energy for anything yard-related at this point, and they do a nice enough job with things.  The lady has a green thumb and likes to come out and poke around.  She's cute.
