Penthouse? Really?

As you probably guessed by my last entry, we have the most ridiculous schedule the next two months. Movers AND cleaners are in Wednesday as we move half our stuff in storage to stage the condo. We go to Atlanta for the weekend and the realtor takes pictures of our place. We get back for two days and leave for a week to Houston for house hunting. While we are gone, they will be doing two open houses. Come back for a week or so, then Vegas (solar conference folks in da houz! Those kids can!). 

Depending on sales status, we are then packing the rest of our stuff and making the trek to Houston. The current goal (as of yesterday) is by the beginning of October to allow for yet-another-blood-test. 

We're seeing some great listings but Eric keeps threatening to put a bid on this penthouse. Sure the list price is only $299,000 but the monthly HOA is $3200. 

Seriously? There are several units up for sale in this particular building and you are asking for what in HOA fees? No wonder it's been on the market for almost a year! Eric thinks if we can get the price reduced and the HOA knocked in half it would be worth it. Because funny. I think he is delusional if he thinks he'll live through this move with suggestions like this one. 

Pretty sure this space was previously owned by a country rap pimp drug dealer.

How I picture the current owner - lover of old skool appliances, white marble, hot tubs, mirrors, white leather/chrome/mirrored furniture, fur, cowboy hats, and teeth bling. Wonder if they'll leave the water bed...
