Looking for a house to stay
Posted in Personal on August 27th, 2008 by atma – Be the first to commentThis year, me and my girlfriend decided to stay together. I wanted since I was 25 to live away from my parents house and my girlfriend was living alone as a student in my town so it was kinda expected situation for both of us. These few days, I’ve spend in order to look over the house, I found myself in a lot of weird trouble.
First, it was hard to find a house that was new. Everyone is trying to sell and not rent the building if possible. Then, rentals can vary very much, to the point that you don’t know if you are paying too much or too many. Then I had to match different needs. I have an expensive car so I need a place to park it. My girlfriend has no car or motorcycle so she needs a place that it’s near the city centre in order be able to do everything by feet. Another problem for me is space. I don’t want a small house because I hate small spaces. The choices are 2 or 3 rooms? We sure need a bedroom and I want an office to work properly. Another room wont harm, we could turn that into a second office for my girlfriend or a small bedroom for guests(!). Actually we don’t need that, my parents house is big enough to guest 4+ people. The big house will be more expensive to warm up and maintain. So the expenses will grow and my official income is not that good yet, but the two incomes together should be more than enough for a 3 bedrooms house. I said official income because I have the possible to add some extra plus, but I don’t want to count uncertain incomes when doing calculations, it’s unhealthy
I am mostly excited because I will finally have my small “computer centre” inside the house. All I need is a good, big office that will be able to host my iMac, my laptop and my Linux server, a computer that acts as file server and in the future it could have further dues, firewall, internet server (httpd, ssh, etc) and much more.
I’ve already calculated how is going to cost a Forthnet 24Mbps connection along with land line phone calls all over Greece. The rest doesn’t come cheap in Greece: Electricity & Water. But everything is gonna fit in the end, I’m quite positive and can’t wait…
