Home Sweet Home

Lauren and I have been doing a long apartment hunt! Boy! Brattleboro is so small and do not have great houses. We needed a place that have washer/dryer hookup because we got new w/d last spring. Brattleboro do not have lots of w/d hookup, most of them use the laundromat all the time. We found a nice Victoria house and was under renovation. The landlord was so strange! He offered us the first floor, the landlord lives on the 2nd floor, and a man lives on the third floor. In order to get that place, we must share our washer/dryer with them. NO THANKS!! We never got back to him again!

Two weeks ago, we went to work and we were reading the Brattleboro Reformer newspaper and searched in the classifieds section for any available apartment. We spotted an advertisement about a new, clean, bright apt, very private 15 acres, 1 bedroom with loft, basement , wd hookup, plenty of parking, and it was in Newfane about 20 mins away from work. Lauren called them immediately and we went over on Friday night to check it out. It was really nice and private with tv room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, big basement (wood stove), and loft in the attic. Saturday early morning, Lauren called the landlord and asked us to meet them next Saturday. We had to wait for the next weekend argh!. We really want this place badly!

The next Saturday, it was a nice cool morning and we went to see the landlord. Wow, it was a big property, quiet, and woods around the area because our first visit was at night time. The landlord was very friendly & loves to talk! We took another tour of the apartment and they even have trials in the woods. There were several people interested in this place and we had to work our ass off to get it. They asked us a lot of questions and looked really interested. They would return a call on Monday. We were very nervous about it! Jeez! The apartment is a duplex house and the landlord lives next door. They are never there and they are usually at their other home in New York.

Monday afternoon at 2pm, we got a phone call from the landlord and they have picked us. We were really thrilled! We really want to get out of the temporary apt at Austine School.

I will definitely take picture of the place and post it. That is when I will ever find my DAMN battery charger! :)
