Just signed all the paperwork for the offer. We live in a new development and just sort of outgrew our current house. Plus they built a bunch of houses behind us WAY TOO CLOSE. I can sit in my kitchen and watch the new neighbours making their dinner. Fuck that. We've only been here for 3 years. We were looking to build, but too much hassle.
Then just around the corner they were building a house pretty much exactly what we wanted. Bigger rooms for the kids, bigger house overall, bigger lot and I get to build a project studio and a workshop in the basement! That's what sold me on it. The problem is, we will be moving in on August 20th. That means all of my summer plans are fucked. I have to pack away a bunch of my gear and shit in my music room (for when our agent shows this house to prospective buyers), and there's going to be an open house on MY FUCKING BIRTHDAY! My holidays from work are going to be spent showing the house and packing when the plan all along was to finish recording the 11 tracks for an album that I'VE BEEN TRYING TO RELEASE FOR 5 FUCKING YEARS! Just when I think I'm going to have some time to work on it...BLAM! Something else comes up. *sigh*
I want the house, but the studio won't be ready when we move in, coz the builders want to charge way too much. So I have a buddy who does construction who I'm going to hire to do it. I ain't no Bob Villa, and I want it done right, so I won't touch it. I'm hoping to get the studio room done by September 15th, but if he's got other jobs already booked...it just throws everything up in the air AGAIN. Sorry 'bout the rant. Just had to vent. I think I have a name for the album... TIME IS THE ENEMY  I'll post some pics of the new place under construction later this weekend for y'all.

What other Metal Fansite brings up such intellectual pontification? I keep coming back to this line to see if Mez is doing some sort of clever flirt thing with Nia using legal words. In my mind, Mez is wearing red braces and a Gordon the Gecko suit. He is stretching out the red braces with just his thumbs. It would be wrong to outline the costume that Nia is wearing, in my head. Nuke, you have my sympathy - when I sold my last house I had my studio not only packed away but the boxes had to be hidden, and all my guitars sent to my Dad's place. I felt like some kind of fucking normal person with a normal house, for six months! It's worth it in the end, though. My new studio is way better! Only trouble is, I bought 2 guitars this week and I don't know where I'm gonna put them. I don't need 18 guitars. But that PRS looks & plays so damn good! -------------------- Der der der-der DER! Der der der-der DER! DER!

Congrats on the house, Nuke! I can't wait till the day that I don't have to rent anymore.And Nia, having to move when it's not your choice sucks too. I'm in the same boat and then some..... My husband and I rent the basement apartment in his father & stepmother's home and they just put it up for sale a couple of months ago. Luckily, so far for us, it hasn't even got an offer! Plus, now we are in the middle of a week-long stand off with them about some very serious personal and business issues with them (we both work at his dad's company) and we don't even have a lease. Now, the brunt of the problem is the step-mom, who seems to call all the shots and gets what she wants by manipulating my father-in-law to not have to do the dirty work herself. She is a very vindictive and selfish person who has never liked her step-son and now me, so we don't feel very safe right now. Who knows what she'll try if we can't work out our differences....which are really the in-laws' unfair, rude, inconsiderate and disrpectful treatment of us. By the way, they have three other daughters who in no way get treated the way we do. Damn, sorry....thanks for not hunting me down and killing me for having spilled all my personal bullshit on ya'll!! I just have one more thing to say: I LOVE MY FAMILY!!!! Slug and Luna, please pass that on to everyone

DAMN... y'all just made me feel like my life is a bowl of cherries. Once you get yuour new house, you'll realize all the bullshit was worth it and life will begin again. I've been workin like crazy landscaping around my house for the last month+ and it's coming along nicely. still lots to do but I love knowing IT'S MINE. I'll never rent again, and I have my exwife to thank for making me see the light on that issue. I love being a homeowner... headaches and all. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE -------------------- yawn

Yeah, thank you all. This thread has taken a turn unexpected, didn't it? My wife and i are still on speaking terms, i hope this is the basis for going on. Some things (agreements) in the past were just forgotten about. My wife can't stand certain things about me no more. I feel like i am on the edge, if you know what i mean. She makes me feel it is all about me. Now she says she has to work on herself also.. He, he, there is a beginning. If things don't turn out the right way i have some good things to look forward too:
Listening to Metal all day through, drink as much as i want every day  eat fat food everyday, don't brush my teeth cos'i don't kiss people no more... Goto bed very late. Get up very late. I can start up gambling again, i can finally start smoking weed, something i have been wanting for decades. Calling myself sick for work. Mmmm, all nice things indeed. Is this what i really want? Does this make my life any better? Don't think so. Will give it another try. -------------------- trrrrr ta trrrrr ta trrrrr ta trrrrr ta trrrrr ta trrrrr
