Picky fuck.

I’m a picky fuck. It’s been six weeks that we’re on the market looking for a home. By all accounts it was supposed to be difficult selling my co-op and easy pickings picking up a new house. I haven’t seen much I’ve liked yet. It’s been six weeks of working with brokers, doing open houses, and researching homes. We’ve come close a few times though.
1) Huge back yard, colonial house with three bedrooms, partially finished basement and 2.5 baths. The back yard had a pool and a 1/2 court basketball court on it. We both loved it. Until we drove around the corner and saw that it backed up to railroad tracks. The whistle blew as the train passed the house. *sigh* oh well.
2) we just saw a brand new home - 4 beds, 2.5 baths, huge back yard and a great layout indoors. The backyard was enclosed by a huge 6 foot fence. Very private. We loved the house and were trying to figure out where we would dig the pool, when we noticed a lot of power cables behind the back yard. Hrm .. We walked around the corner to a dead end block and found The Holbrook Superconductor Project. There’s a video on it here. This was LITERALLY right over the back yard fence. To its credit, its very quiet, but I don’t think I want to live that close to an experimental energy source. Along the ground just over the fence are the natural gas lines to/from the SuperConductor project. NEXT!
The search continues. We’ve seen TONS of homes on Long Island, but most of my complaints are: a) to small or b) shoddy workmanship
