August 29, 201412 yr comment_650535 Finding and buying a house was surprisingly easy. Three months of delays getting the sellers out was surprisingly difficult. Today though we moved in. Report

August 29, 201412 yr comment_650551 Signed a lease for a new apartment today. Moving downtown Seattle, in the South Lake Union neighborhood, half a mile from where I will be working (when not travelling or working from home). This is the layout of the one I rented: Though I am waffling about changing to this one, which is $40/month more and I would have to take it 6 days earlier: Synchronous gigabit fiber internet is going to be happening too.

August 29, 201412 yr comment_650552 I call dibs on the second bedroom whenever I go to Seattle. 2015 maybe? Report
August 29, 201412 yr comment_650554 More interior space, or a balcony in Seattle? Bigger = Better for visiting HC'ers ( and AirBnB income ) and who wouldn't want to be Artistic Too? Report
August 30, 201412 yr comment_650555 Antonio, you are welcome to it, though do realize that the room is more likely to hold a computer desk or two and a diy workshop than a bed. While the apartment is only about 2-3 blocks from the space needle, the balcony view is basically just of the street below and the opposing building. Report
August 30, 201412 yr comment_650559 I'd go for #2, the bedrooms are much better and why do you need a balcony for when it rains all the time. Report
August 30, 201412 yr comment_650560 But it's a place for a grill Yes, and gas grills are allowed, but there are also 3 grills available for use in the common courtyard. I have not yet used the balcony in my current apartment. Report

August 30, 201412 yr comment_650573 I'd go for #2, the bedrooms are much better and why do you need a balcony for when it rains all the time. I dont know about the weather but the one thing my condo lacks is anything outside Would want to know if grilling is permitted on balcony Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Report
August 30, 201412 yr comment_650575 Grilling is permitted. There are also 3 grills free for use in the common courtyard. The "wine storage" is the storage unit in the basement garage, near the bike storage. Report
August 30, 201412 yr comment_650578 Sharing a grill with the commonfolk would require charcoal. Report
August 30, 201412 yr comment_650584 Headed up to Denver to stay the night before going to Glenwood Springs and the Snowmass Jazz Festival Saturday - Monday. Discovered the brand new Subaru Forester's rear hatch power door lift is quite powerful when closing, especially if you forget where you left your 10 month old iPhone 5s. Realized I brought a spare 64GB unlocked iPhone 4s with me, and didn't have a SIM card adapter to use the 5s Nano SIM. Hoping the scotch tape holds the SIM in place until I can get a new SIM in the morning before we take off. No new 5s for me, will wait for the 6 to come out. Report
