Well, I got word yesterday that the storage place where I have a bunch of games and junk is not going to be available after 12/31.
I'm renting two 16X20 cages for $150/month.
Pretty cheap or I'd have been out of there before now.
Anyway, they said there is another storage place that would give the same deal to their customers, but I really doubt that. This is the cheapest place I've heard of. It's a shame this place is closing because it's really cool. Not climate controlled, so it can get hot and cold, but it's fun to hang out there. Power for games is included and people can drop by outside of regular business hours, but the owners policy is that it is for warehousing only.
There are about 25 games there, and bunches of parts/monitors/general junk on shelves.
I could put some kind of storage building on the back of my residence lot, but the wife likes me not being underfoot all the time. I like to have a place to 'go' also.
Now...
There's a small house in my old neighborhood- maybe 800 - 1000 sqft. Old house, probably needs some work, but the lot is very nice sized. They're asking about $70K and the thing that got me thinking about it was the 'monthly mortgage price' that popped up on the screen- about $274/mo.
Are any of you thinking what I'm thinking?
I know that taxes and insurance would probably bump it up another $150 or so and then there's power/water/such. But damn.
Also, my mother and sister rent an apartment currently. This is in their old neighborhood and I'm not sure if they'd consider moving there, but that crossed my mind also. I mean, how can I think about my games before my own family? Hell- even if they moved there, my sister would probably let me put some storage/GAME building on the lot.
I don't know. I've got about two months to think it out and probably less than that to move on this property.
Your thoughts are welcome..
