Okay, that's it.

There is a crack in the smegging foundation. I know this because the past two times it's rained the carpet gets sopping wet *only* right under where I set my feet when I'm at the computer. Therefore it's time to pack up tents and move unless Herself wants to put in money to: fix the foundation, replace carpet (that would have to be taken up to fix the foundation), get a new heater/AC unit, fix the electrical problems, get a plumber in (downstairs bathroom sink utterly refuses to drain despite every single plumbering goop I can get at the store) and shore up the little slope behind the house and underneath the back porch that is swiftly eroding away and I'm deathly afraid at some point in the next few years will peel the back of the house clean off like a bloody great boiled egg.

So what I want to hear from those of you who care to do so is a sales pitch for where you live and why Doc (and quite possibly Herself and the kittehs) should move there. Please don't think I've got some kind of exalted opinion of myself or anything, I'm just looking to cheer myself up a little and get information on various places that could be possibilities. There are already two leading contenders - Austin and Seattle. I just thought this might be fun.

Yeah, but my point is with all that going on why put the money on this place when it could be put toward another that isn't a "fixer upper"?

Kinda late now isn't it?

Nope. Money hasn't been put down yet, so it's still eligible to go anywhere I want it. After all this stuff that needs repairs mess, though, I'm reconsidering the many virtues of renting.

Renting is always a problem when the renter leaves, or you can't find one... or in the sometimes occurance where they destroy the place.
