Where'm I gonna live? - Page 6

Such a propane tank, if usable, likely goes to an RV. I have one for mine.

Looks cute!

Big Sarge · 10-02-2012, 04:42 PM

looks like living there would be a fun adventure! think off all the neat stories you will be able to tell. i like it

orthodoc · 10-02-2012, 05:32 PM

Looks like fun! I hope you get it.

richlevy · 10-02-2012, 06:19 PM

Well, the best properties make an impression. The impression I get from this one is 'serial killer'. Was the alarm to keep people out or the previous occupant in?

orthodoc · 10-02-2012, 06:22 PM

Strange. My impression is of a cute, funky place to bake pumpkin loaf in and maybe weave a blanket in the living room (loom with a view), and room in the yard to run around jumping in the piles of leaves you raked up for just that purpose. Oh, and heading down that trail with the dog.

Griff · 10-02-2012, 07:29 PM

I like funky. Any property damage in the turtle department?

ZenGum · 10-02-2012, 08:16 PM

I like it, although some features like tiny rooms might be a PITA to actually live with. It has character. Is that an old hand-pump by the wall?

With a bit of garden work, you could survive the collapse of civilisation there. Small windows prevent velociraptor entry. How secure do the doors seem against zombie hordes?

I have been OKd for the lease. This settles a family conflict that could have scuttled plans... we are cleared for approach and may sign next week if all goes well.

The turtle department is a tough situation. Turt and his crew should ideally move to a 75 gallon tank. He'll need a stand that spreads that weight out, and it'll have to be on a piece of floor that can hold the weight long-term. (The floors are uneven, but they seem firm.)

glatt · 10-04-2012, 12:48 PM

Even if the floors are a little iffy, you can just go to home depot and get them to cut a 2 foot by 4 foot (or whatever) sheet of half inch plywood, and flop that down on the floor to be a base to support the tank and stand. It will spread the weight out so the floor can hold it no problem.

limey · 10-04-2012, 01:21 PM

Fabuloso. I wanna come to the house-warming party!

ZenGum · 10-04-2012, 06:42 PM

Cooool! Think of all the dead hobo storage that place must have!

Undertoad · 10-04-2012, 09:54 PM

Win-win... the dampness will help them decompose.

ZenGum · 10-05-2012, 01:03 AM

Just occurred to me, though, come the zombie apocalypse, a basement full of dead hobos is the last thing you want, if it turns out to be one of those re-animate-the-corpses type of zombie plagues, and not the more common bite-the-living plagues.

glatt · 10-05-2012, 07:16 AM

That's some good forward thinking, Zen. It's so obvious in hindsight, but I never would have made the connection until they were all banging on the basement door to get through to eat my brains.
