Need to Move

I'm feeling the urge to move. I've been living in the same place for four years (or so) and my desire to change our living space, which was once an idea/thought/daydream, has now come near to desperation. I know a man who is remodeling a small house by The Grotto in NE Portland. We went and saw it today. It's cute. It has a huge back yard and a full, cement (though not remodeled) basement. And the plus is that because he's remodeling it, everything will be new and fresh. But he doesn't know when he'll have it done...and that's driving me nuts.

It's not a perfect house. The "main" bedroom would barely fit our bed and we'd be lucky to fit just one dresser (we have two). The living room is a bit small, we would have to be creative with our furniture. And, the bathroom is accessible through both bedrooms, not from a common area (oh, and the toilet is so close to the wall you'd probably have to sit sideways).

But, it does have a dining room/space and a room off the kitchen that could be the computer nook, which would leave the tiny 2nd bedroom entirely as a guest room or a closet, since it would be a challenge to fit all our clothes in the other bedroom.

So, it obviously has it's pluses and minuses. But even if we do decide to give it a try, I don't know if I can wait that long...perhaps I could if I knew even approximately how long it will take.

New energy, new surroundings...I need it!

Love,
