The House: Current Status

Filed under: Bout-Me, Pinball, The House — Chris @ 7:42 am

So.

Casa De Chris is looking, well, like a house.

To give some background.. I live in an apartment currently. Some like to call it a dungeon, others just like to call it my man cave.. But recently I got the “Buy a house” bug again, and went looking.

My Realtor, Joe Prunty went with me as I checked out house after house.

After house.

I do think he figures I was crazy. I would look around a house, then go running into the basement.

Because, being the computer nerd I am, I have to live in the basement, and eat Ho-Ho’s and Hot Pockets.

Wait.

That’s not why I was looking.

In reality, I could do without the house.. Part of me, just doesn’t want to deal with all the work that involves getting a house. Alas, my two hobbies, Pinball and Home theater, are not conducive to living in a apartment. So, I was scoping out the basement at each house.

Then I found the little spec house. My own little spec of suburbia. It’s nice, but in reality, I’m just concerned about three things

1) My kitchen. Ohhh, gonna have a Dual Fuel Range, an Awesome Fridge, and some of the best washer and dryers I can find (Really, really thinking of getting a fridgidare front loader). Also going for the oval pot holder thingy, and lots and lots of outlets.
2) Basement room to put my pinball machines in. And the MAME Cabinet, and the video games. I think with the video games, I’m up to like 16 Pinball machines and 7 Video games. Ohh, My family will enjoy moving me.
3) Basement room for My Kick Butt Home Theater. Well. Initially, it won’t be that kick butt.. But I’m trying to figure a way to ceiling mount the projecter, then do some decorating. Like getting a guitar wall mount for my Rock Band guitar. You know, the non obsessive stuff.

If you have any questions, just leave them in the comments. I’ll do my best to answer.

If you want to send me some amazing type of housewarming gift, I’ll send you the new address
