finding a place
so apartment shopping sucks, especially in a place like napa. it's not like it is insanely expensive to live up there, but it is still more than here. they also have a serious distaste for pets, unless you have oodles of cash. it is really hard to find a place that allows pets , or pets over 15 lbs, and for under $1200 or $1350 a month, and most of those are 1bdrm, some are 2. but...
i found this place that seems pretty cool. it is a small community this guy made out of converted camper trailers. he has taken all or most of the chinsey camping stuff out, i.e. sinks, toilets, etc. and replaced them with sturdy home things. he has 3 available that i am going to check out on fri, a 18 ft, 20 ft and a 22 ft for $500, $600, and $650 a month. utilities are a flat 75 a month, including T1 internet(online wii gaming, yeah!) and for $10 more i get all the cable channels. suki is not in yet, he would like to meet her first. but apparently he started this place for students of the culinary institute up there, the nursing school and the christian college 20 minutes away for people who wanted a cheap place to live. now i guess he has a number of permanent residence and only a few renters. so the way i understand it is that there might be some furniture in it already, bed, table, it just won't be that big is all. the guy sounded super nice on the phone, so we'll see.
so while i'm up there on fri, i'm also supposed to run by del dotto and say hello again, and then go to the other one in napa, since i'll be working at both.
