Still Living Outside the Loft
February is nearing its close and we are still not living in our home. We are on our 4th sublet, living with roommates, and were about to have to find a 5th because we found out our place will not be ready until March 5th. That is the construction manager’s estimate… and, that was before he heard our carpet is slowly making its way from Georgia via Canada. Ok.
We are currently staying a funky “house” that used to be a railroad station. It is shaped like a triangle. You can see it in this satellite google maps view. There are 2 units and we live upstairs with a housemate: Art. Art was a kind and brave soul to take us in. This place is so small it doesn’t have a living room or even a full kitchen.
The best thing about this place, other than it being safe and warm enough (with our space heater), is Art. As with the other sublets I am thankful to have met such awesome folks which is one of the best silver linings in this whole fiasco.
Our sublet here ends on Feb 28th. But I finally got a hold of the reportedly absentee landlady and offered her $25 a night to let us stay after our housemate leaves. She said yes. Phew.
