I appear to be signing a lease?!
Woo!
For the Park West place.
So you'll have all the 9th and Irving neighborhood readily available. Lots of cool stuff there, and right off GG Park should you take up rollerblading.

Congrats on the new place, shrift! I'm curious about the Golden Gate location - did you ever get to see interiors on that building?
My dentist is very good at putting me at ease. Unfortunately on my most recent visit that talent was required by the Chicken Little hygeinist telling me I'd need to use Sensodyne toothpaste for the rest of my life because of twinges from her overly invasive tooth cleaning. Apparently, holes that have just been poked in your gums can also be sensitive to cold... who knew?

I was supposed to see it yesterday but had to reschedule for today. I'm still going to see it because I'm also curious about the interior.

The building exterior looked great and you couldn't beat that neighborhood, but my spider sense was tingling about there being no photos of the actual apartments. Maybe they have avocado green kitchen appliances from the 70s or something.

Yay apartment for shrift!
Yesterday, I did all the things, including interviewing for my own job (again). Also bought light fixtures, and celebrated that purchase with two cute new tops from the sale at Anthropologie.
And then I went to see Love and Mercy, which I highly recommend.

Oh hello internets. I have missed you!
Today we found out that we are NOT buying a house. The sellers are refusing to fix anything, including 2 things that will prevent us getting insurance if they don't. (So it's not even something we could compromise on if we wanted to, since no insurance = no mortgage. I'm not sure how they expect to sell it to anyone under these circumstances, but so far they've said no to everything!)

I'm sorry, Jessica. We had that with one house we looked at. Are you going to keep looking?

Was it knob and tube wiring? Why do sellers not understand that knob and tube wiring is a REAL PROBLEM with insurers nowadays?

It's a Federal Pacific Stab-Lok circuit breaker, and an addition that doesn't have flashing on the roof. Total cost to repair is probably under $10k too, and less than a week of work! I can't tell if it's the sellers who are being stubborn, or if they're just getting really bad advice from their realtor about tough negotiating.
We're going to keep looking, but probably take a break until the fall when more homes will be on the market. This has been exhausting and expensive (we had three separate inspections done).
