I never thought I'd want a house but now having one... it is SO NICE to have space and privacy. I was pretty tolerant of my neighbors if they were tolerant of me, except the last place we moved to in San Diego, people would just let their many, many children run around screaming at the top of their lungs. After a while I just started screaming back. I had snapped. So, so, so never want to live in that situation again. I so do not miss apartment living.

Granted, we could do with moving to a nicer area. But we both like the house itself, and the location is convenient if not highly classy. What to do? We will have to move in the next few years, anyway, but I'll miss this place. And my garden.

I had it when I moved in to my first house alone, and again when I moved in to an apartment two years ago. The apartment it never really wore off--it was truly perfect, and the fact that I had to leave still makes me sad. I never had that level of excitement about my new place, because it's really a big fat step down. But I'm looking forward to that feeling again .... someday! Ah, I remember that feeling.

However I know what you mean. I grew up in an apartment and it's the little things that can make someone completely snap. Stay strong! From 9 to 12, get a broom stick and bang on the ceiling while you play the classic Lionel Richie song "Dancing On The Ceiling". Congratulations on the new place. However I know what you mean.

Are you able to set up something outside of your glass door that would give a little bit more privacy? Like, maybe a privacy fence thing or a hedge (but, using pots so you don't wreck the ground or things like that?) Good luck! Hello!

A full year of worry, wonder, agony over contertop choices, wood floor finishes, ceiling heights, light fixtures, carpet choices, paint swatches, landscaping, packing, moving....and then thousands of digital pictures and sleepless nights later it was all ours. I remember that surreal feeling that came with living in this space, and I find it amazing just how quickly novel and new became comfortable and same old-same old. Interesting, isn't it?

Especially because I once had my downstairs neighbor call the apartment office and complain about me vacuuming. At 4pm in the afternoon.

Just kidding! When we moved in our house we thought it was perfect, and it has a lot of plusses. One negative was when we found out that the previous owners had covered up rot and the garage was in serious danger of collapsing. Not a good day. There’s just no pleasing you is there?
