[apartment] Woo!

Woo! I go to pay money and sign a lease tomorrow after work, for a three bedroom place in Woburn, not far from Woburn Center. Space for a roommate _and_ a guest room/office! And two parking spots! *glee*

No laundry in building, but there isn't in my current place, either. (do need to figure out where the nearest one is, though)

And... and! It's an easy walk to a bus which goes to the Wellington stop on the Orange line, and which appears to run similar hours to the subway. And there appears to be no difficulty with parking on the street for guests.

It's all carpeted, but that's alright. I prefer wood, sure, but it's not high on my priority list. And they're going to clean the carpets before I move in, which is good as it smells a bit strongly of animals.

Apartment!

(incidentally, this is why I was so confused by the last place's delays. I had no real reason to expect a delay on a decision!)

Was that that one place?

[identity profile] wispfox.livejournal.com 2005-05-23 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
(yes, already told you the answer, but!)

No - the first place I really wanted took _far_ too long to reply. I'd not want it now even with reply, as that's a bad sign.

I looked at this place Sunday while hanging out with [livejournal.com profile] brynndragon. :)

*grin* i am so happy for you.

Awesome. Near Orange line = good, yes.

For some reason, the phrase "smells a bit strongly of animals" made me think of exotics, y'know elephants and kangaroos and ostriches and such.
I wonder what your kitty will think of the scents. For verily, there will be cleaning, and yet the cat's sensitive nose will still detect critter-smells.

[identity profile] wispfox.livejournal.com 2005-05-24 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
animals: There was apparently both a cat and a dog (dog was apparently not allowed), and I can't quite tell what the scent is exactly, other than strong and unpleasant.

And yes, I also wonder what Ash'll think of it, especially since I know that cats are likely to urinate places which have that scent already. We shall see! Getting the carpet replaced was an option, but one that would increase the monthly rent to higher than I can afford.

First, yay and congrats!

And they're going to clean the carpets before I move in, which is good as it smells a bit strongly of animals.

Second, hmm... I might have to do a sniff test first. I do fine with your cat and [livejournal.com profile] points dogs, but would want to be 100% sure before committing. Damn allergies.

Third, yay! :)

Is fine with me; was expecting you to want to see the place beforehand anyway. :)

Well, yes, that would make sense. A lot of sense. Tis good you are having more sense that I today!

[identity profile] wispfox.livejournal.com 2005-05-24 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
*chuckle*

When are you next in the area, so you can see it? (In June, as I won't have it until then)

Negotiations are underway for the next visit. It was almost late June by because of work, it looks to be early July (but not the 4th). If we can figure out a date today, I'll post back and let you know. :) (Not to imply that I won't tell you if we don't figure things out until tomorrow. Geez, missing 2 hours of sleep in the middle of the night apparently mixed up my brain a lot more than I realized.)

[identity profile] wispfox.livejournal.com 2005-05-24 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
*grin* Yeah, let me know when you do. :)

A quick trip has been arranged! June 25 & 26. I'll have to nap for a little bit after I get in on the 25th (5:30 am - yuck), but then we should be able to come out and see the new place if that'll work for you.

[identity profile] wispfox.livejournal.com 2005-05-26 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa. Yeah, I ought to be able to work it such that you can come see the new place. I might still be packing/moving/cleaning stuff in the old place, but that's fine.

I will possibly also have people visiting me, but that also ought to be fine.

Either day better? Saturday or Sunday? I'm possibly going to be coming from Andover, but that's fine.

[personal profile] jasra 2005-05-26 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)
We won't stay too long to get in your way at the new place. [livejournal.com profile] points said Saturday would be our preferred day. We can coordinate by cell phone so that we show up while you're there and not at the old place.

[identity profile] wispfox.livejournal.com 2005-05-26 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds good. Although, really, going to the new place won't be that big a deal, even if I'm still at the old one.

And, Saturday is noted!

Congratulations! It is always a bit less stress to have the search done.
