I don't know. When DH talked to him last night, we left everything very general--we want to take a few months to get our finances in order, get the place inspected, get an idea of what kind of repairs we'd need to do immediately. The landlord said that was fine, just let him know when we were ready.
I swear, one of these times, you're gonna wake up in a coma.

Huh. I think I was parked in front of this house [link] last weekend.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's kinda freakish how the web helps my memory. And I don't mean google -- that's external storage. I mean the process of framing a google query or a question here often answers it ... "What's the word for landscaping with native pants in dry clima...right. Xeriscaping. Cool."
Is anyone familiar with xeriscaping? I'm assuming you end up with a more low-maintenance yard, because watering's not a big deal. But do you tend to end up with a garden (full of plants, but nowhere to lounge) instead of usable space?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

75K and no visible boarded-up windows? What's wrong with it? Because the Baltimore plan could easily get moved up by a coupla years....

How are you defining usable space, ita? A place where you can put a couple of lounge chairs and a table? A place where you can toss the frisbee around with the dog?
Xeriscaping tends to vary depending on where you are, because the plants that do well vary depending on where you are. The immaculate green lawn look doesn't do well in a lot of xeriscaped areas because it really requires a combination of water and sunlight that isn't all that common. But you can put down non-turf ground cover that may be quite usable, depending on your needs.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Is anyone familiar with xeriscaping?
I know Penny's done it. For me, I'd probably build a wood deck, pour an adjacent concrete part for the grill, and xeriscape the rest of the lawn.
