Well, looks like Im finally taking baby steps towards living on my own. My dad informed me this weekend that he is looking at another place down the road (literally, not even half a mile prob) and that he wanted to know if I wanted to rent his house from him. Difficult decision for me, since there are plenty or pro/cons
PROS:
It’s in Jonesboro, which is where I am going anyways, closer to work, save on gas…
It’s in the Valley View school district, which is where I want to put the kids (#1 school in AR now)
It’s in the country, which I wanted, because I like to rock out, lol.
It has a garage
It has a huge backyard
It has a massive old barn (possible studio?)
I can have animals there
It has a nice back porch with a great view
3 bedrooms
Kitchen is nice, and it has a bar
CONS:
It will still be owned by my dad/grandparents, which I want to get away from (I dont like having them over my head)
Ill probably have to fight to paint the damn place
It doesnt have central heat and air, which sucks ass and means slightly higher AC bills
No fence (I can always put one up I guess, for the kids)
Its on a gravel road (my car hates gravel roads, lmfao)
the ceilings are low, and I am tall (I can deal with some modifications, but I prefer tall ceilings)
Panelling (I fucking hate panelling, I cant seem to get away from it, not sure if its all the way through, didnt pay attention)
I just don’t really like the house that much, not the type of house I imagined I would live in. Its not a bad place, just not my style really. But, then again, my dads decorating is southwestern crap, so I need time to envision it with my tastes. Im almost positive Ill take it if dad gets the other place. If I end up hating it, I can always rent somewhere else.
