New House! August 3, 2008

We signed a lease on a new house. It is in Minneapolis proper, up north close to Robbinsdale and Lake Crystal. We researched the neighborhood and talked to the current tenants, so we know we’re getting into a good neighborhood. The house is a 2 bedroom house with hard wood floors all on the main floor, and one bathroom. There is a dining room and living room as well as a nice kitchen. There is also a full attic that isn’t finished, which we can use for storage. The basement is tiled and sheetrocked, and it looks like there are two rooms that were purposefully soundproofed by a previous tenant. So, the basement will be Tony’s domain, as we plan on making a family room type area down there complete with our books and musical instruments and video games. The second bedroom will be a guest room and a workspace for Liza. The house has a working fireplace and a fenced in back yard, which is accessible from the back door. We are very excited about that! We move in on September 1st, so we’ll be starting to pack very soon!
