That is this house. The landlord became much more cooperative. He also got sick of the hippie handyman and hired a good contractor. The new contractor doesn't take short cuts. I had trouble with corroded water supply valves and a full septic when I moved in. Then, I had trouble with the heaters. The hippie handyman wired three electric registers to one thermostat and connected them to a single fuse. Of course that didn't work! It works now, but I bought 2 infrared heaters that work better.

Things are alright now. It was a rocky start, but I am glad that I didn't have to move again. I like my neighbors and I am tired of moving.

In the current real estate market, it would be smart of me to buy. I am looking a bit, but the places I have seen are not what I want. There are deals to be had from foreclosures or pressured sales, but there are also a lot of vacant houses with neglected leaky roofs. I am keeping watch on onlin3e listings, but not rushing into a new nightmare.

My aunt said that I should meet a nice man with a nice house. Smart advice, but I am allergic to couch potatoes! Lots of frogs in the Pocono dating pool.
