NO HOUSE FOR YOU

[solarbird]

No house for us. Another bidder came in at the same time with a $50,000 escalation clause, which means they'd beat any other bid up to $50,000 above list. We came in at list and could go up $15K but that was all. (It needs on the order of $50K of work.) So we're 0 for 4 or 0 for 5 or something now and it's all really depressing and god DAMMIT we need another place to live what the FUCK is up with this?

On the other hand, here's the best 70s house ever. YOU MUST CLICKIE. YOU MUST.

EDIT: Don't forget to click on the "More Pictures." It gets BETTER! CLICKIE! CLICKIE NOW, DAMN YOU! CLICKIE!

I'm amazed that there's anybody left in this area with that kind of cash to just blow on a house. Fuuuuuuuuck. $50K above list, keeeeripes.

I think we're not allowed to have a nice house or something. Not sure!

WANT. DOME. HOUSE.

[solarbird]

It's TWO domes! Look off to the right in the main listing picture - it's a SECOND DOME!

AND it's an A-FRAME!

With a CONVERSATION PIT!

So. Cool.

It reminds me of a house that's on one of the main entrance roads to Tilden Park in Berkeley that was built when I was a little girl (yes, in the 70s) and I thought the domes were SO COOL as they was being put in.

Also, SPIRAL STAIRCASE. Want.

OMIGOSH I WANT THAT HOUSE!!!

I am so glad that I clickied. WANT!

(Not tacky at all! WHO SAID THAT? sheesh...)


I'm not sure it'd be worth living in Clinton though, I have to say...

Reminds me of a foam house I saw once in Florida.

I wanted that house so much...

Damn. Sorry about the house. A friend of mine has been trying to buy a house since 9/11 (yes, he lives in NY in sight of ground zero) and finally had someone accept his bid. But I'm not counting any chickens until after the closing.... Feh.

Cool Buckminster Fuller house!

i think come august we'll drop the distance and anti-carbound requirements and grab anything we can get. that will suck. but it will be better than staying here.

I like the funky two-domed house.

I'm sorry you're having touble finding a place. :\

[solarbird]

It's been OVER a YEAR.

I'm kinda going nuts. It sucks here.

[rosepurr.livejournal.com]

Jesus. I didn't realize you had been looking for that long. Are you considering relocating out of area?

[solarbird]

we're going to be around here somewhere - relocating out of state or something isn't really something we want to do.

besides, as dykes, there aren't that many places that are, um, welcoming.

maybe we should move to boston.

Oh, and I thought lesbians were trendy and welcome everywhere. :)
