Another day of house hunting, and finally we have a candidate. I'm putting an offer in on a condo tomorrow, so I may have a permanent address in the near future. The place I like has 3 levels. There's two bedrooms and a full bath upstairs. The main floor has a living area, dining room, and kitchen, plus a half bath. Then downstairs there's a finished room and a laundry/storage area.
The downside is that it needs to be entirely repainted. The walls have a little orange peel texture to them, and the last time someone painted they filled in nail holes with compound. Unfortunately, they used too much compound, so there are patches on the wall all over the place. I'm having an estimate done for getting it professionally repainted, but if that ends up costing too much you can expect to be invited to a rather large-scale painting party in the next month or two. Yes, wine and cheeses will be provided. Of course, this is all contingent upon agreeing to terms, inspection, etc, etc. But it's progress.

When we moved into our place, we had a similar painting party, only we painted in July without thinking of opening windows. The fumes from two coats and the buzz from the beer made up for choosing a horrible color. For a while, at least. Good luck.
Let's see...I'll be painting in December without thinking of opening the windows. I wonder how much better your buzz would have been if only for a better color palette.
