Foo - A(nother) new pad for Arti

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm51/artifice4/IMG_5640.jpg
14 hours of driving over 2 days later...

I have arrived! Got 'moved' into my apartment today (still no word on the moving company which will arrive before on/before sunday). "Moved in" includes a few potted plants, suitcase, air mattress, and sleeping bag.

A trip to target later:
$150 (not too bad) bagged in 14 plastic and 2 paper bags :eek: seriously? This ringer was an idiot.

Some pics of the pad:

ooo. Nice pad. Has it own washer and dryer. Nice. Just think of all the clutter that's soon going to be accumulated (if you're anything like me.) Have fun in Colorado. Think of me when you ski :thumb:

That's a huge tub. Nice looking place ... and you moved to a great downhill ski location. I'm jealous!!!

Nice! Sweet apt, Arti! :)

Think of me when you ski :thumb:lol well, I try not to accumulate too much. and, considering I just moved 2 months ago... and only have a 6-month lease... I'm going to try not to collect much. :D

Nice! Sweet apt, Arti! :)thanks! its nice but actually way too much space. :( I'm on a short lease, and will probably move to a 1br or something later, but its what they had available right now of the (few) places I had a chance to take a look at when I came on my interview visit.

Don't worry, you'll soon appreciate having a bit of extra room. Nice place!

It's going to be weird sleeping on an air mattress in an empty apartment in a new place in a new state. :)

Looks like a great pad, Arti! I like the little nook -- perfect for a laptop and comfy chair.

Nice place. Welcome to the neighborhood.

nice place... massive closet... I think you can hide a few bodies in there :lol:

Nice... I'm relocating too this weekend. But I'm moving into a shoe box... but its cheap!

Cool lookin' pad Artifice. Good luck in your new location...moving can be stressful, but at least you got yourself a nice place to relax.

Nice! Don't clutter it up w/ furniture. You'll need lots of space for all your bikes.

hey there fellow Coloradan! Glad you made the trip ok. :thumb:

Nice pad, so when can we all come over :)

lol well, I try not to accumulate too much. and, considering I just moved 2 months ago... and only have a 6-month lease... I'm going to try not to collect much. :D

Welcome to CO, arti!

Take it from someone who has moved a lot (4 long distance moves in just the last 6 years), you'll accumulate stuff. Stuff is kind of like a gas... it'll expand to fill whatever space it's in. Or conversely, you'll keep adding stuff to fill the volume you have in your house. Even in 6 months! I wouldn't plan on downsizing TOO much!

your carpet has huge bitey fangs.

Nice place. I think you'll enjoy CO. :)

"Another new pad"? What's that make? Seven? :lol:

Looks like it has great possibilities. Glad you made it, and congrats on your bold move.

Have you changed your oil in the driveway of this place yet?:innocent:

Nice pad, so when can we all come over :)You're welcome any time (see next comment)

your carpet has huge bitey fangs.yeah, some intense vacuuming went down in here! Now, I know I'm OCD but this is ridiculous.


"Another new pad"? What's that make? Seven? :lol:

Looks like it has great possibilities. Glad you made it, and congrats on your bold move.thanks! Yup, I'm already plotting budgets for bikes and furniture to fill the space :)


Have you changed your oil in the driveway of this place yet?:innocent::roflmao2: :mad:

its nice but actually way too much space.

there is NO SUCH THING as way too much space!:lol:

It's a really nice place, big and bright and well-lit. - and your own laundry facilities - sweet! The walk-in closet alone is worth driving 14 hrs for.

enjoy the new digs, and good luck on the new gig! :thumb:

Well in that case then I should bring the wife :)

Nice! Id love to spend the rest of my days in a sweet little place like that :thumb:

very nice. How much is the rent monthly on a place like that?

Im in San Diego right now and I pay $650/month plus utilities for one room in a 1100sq. ft. apartment...

Yeah, thats about the same rent/wise- I'd have to rent one of my rooms (1br + den apparently means 2 BR in this case) for $650 to pay half my rent :)

I am also on a 6-month lease (costs a bit more) and have a private garage/entrance.

How are you doing Arti?

How are you doing Arti?aw, thanks for asking! pretty good. tired... but ready to take CO by storm (in a few days once I piece my life together) :D

Go out there and show CO who you are :thumb: Act like you own it! (after a few good nights rest of course ;) )

Dang that rent is cheap!!

Congrats on the beautiful new place, Arti!! And good luck at the new job too!

Look at the closet space...
watch out for these guys...

Looks like a nice pad.:thumb:

Just think of all that space you have for bikes, stuff, skis, stuff, furniture and yet more stuff.:D

I hate to think how much stuff I've got if I had to shift.:twitchy: My bikes alone are spilling out of one room and are starting to take over another.:o

Dang that rent is cheap!!

Congrats on the beautiful new place, Arti!! And good luck at the new job too!cheap? err I guess it depends where... I'm paying a mortgage on this place :(

angry closet monkey from Family guy :D

did you sleep ok on your first night?
thats always the trouble I have on the first night in a new place...

lol, well my mostly television-less life might not have given me a clue ;)

lol, well my mostly television-less life might not have given me a clue ;)

It's funny...thats all it does in the show, It stands there looking angry and points a finger at Chris.

Angry monkey is hilarious... hahah...

Nice pad, Arti. Congrats on your move, new job, and all that other wonderfulness that you'll get from living in Colorado :)

Nice place Arti!
Hope you enjoy CO.

Congrats! And the place looks great!

Nice place. That's a pretty open floor plan, very cool. Enjoy CO for sure!

That's alot more kickass than my new pad...

cheap? err I guess it depends where... I'm paying a mortgage on this place :(

Mortgage? Even better!! Out here something like that would RENT for an easy $1200, even being an apt at that! With no private garage!

Just to give you an idea, a three bedroom, 1 bath, 1 car garage, 1100 square ft house is RENTING for 3k per month here.

I like your new pad better than your last one.

that's alot more kickass than my new pad...

Sorta home sick now :(


Enjoy CO :D :thumb:

So... Do you have to sleep on the floor?

Wow....you can play backgammon on your closet floor. :eek:

Waaaaay kewl. :love:

thanks! its nice but actually way too much space. :( I'm on a short lease, and will probably move to a 1br or something later, but its what they had available right now of the (few) places I had a chance to take a look at when I came on my interview visit.

Spare bedroom = Bike workshop.

Get some vinyl carpet runner to keep the gunk off the carpet, put up a workstand and a workbench, and you're set.

nice place you've got there Arti! and the rent!! wow. you need to let me know how you like it out there after you've been there a while....CO could move up on my list...

I'm liking the prodigious sunlight streaming in thru Artifice's and UA's windows...CO is indeed beautiful!
