The Great Home Hunt

I looked at the house/room a few blocks away from my current resident this morning. The owner, Chuck, is a semi-retired gay widower. He's a self-described 'quiet, introvert' who lives with two older rescue dogs and a couple of tortoises. He's a counselor at a local help center and works four days a week. He seems a bit sad, but I can live with that. He's renting because he doesn't want to live alone, so the rent is, like, $300 a month. That's amazing for this area.
The house was built in 1948, but it's been expanded. The back yard is amazing. There's a fish pond, a fire pit, a greenhouse and hanging chairs.
The bedroom is a bit small, but it's got built in shelving. I don't think my bed (a queen) will actually fit, so I'm going to go back in and measure to see how crowded it would be. If it's literally wall to wall, I'll probably put the bed in storage.
Definitely going to offload my endtables and probably my storage cubes.
And more trips to Goodwill will occur in the future.
Looking at moving in on May 6th.
