Moving to my own place

[Weasel]

Some already knew, but now it's getting really close. Next week Friday I'll officially be an house owner and get the keys to my new home. It's a weird thing and I have no idea what to expect. To be honest, I'm both afraid of going on my own but I'm also really exited about it. I think I got everything arranged, such as power, internet, registering the move at city hall, getting the furniture and so on.

I'm curious about possible experiences you guys had, was it hard, how did it go, and so forth. If you guys have any questions for me, also feel free to ask.

You actually owning the house or renting?

If owning, expect to spend a lot of time and money on repairing shit, I'm constantly having to fix something (but then my house is old as fuck)

Damn congrats dude!

Yeah actually owning it. Luckily the old owner of the house was a professional elektrician or something and everything is perfect. So I hope that won't be one of my concerns. The house is from the end 60ies.

Damn congrats dude!

Thanks man!

I've never really had any electrical problems, mostly things like water heater, pump, ect
But I also live in the country and my house is from the mid to late 1800s
You'll quickly find owning is better than renting though, a lot more freedom
Even with the costs of repairs and taxes, I still pay less a year than I would if I rented lol

What are the house specs; baths, beds, stories, ect?

Yeah I meant more like, the house has been kept in perfect state. Ah yeah, from the 1800's the fundamentals are a bit worse. All the things you mentioned were actually renewed in 2017. And yeah, renting is just throwing away money tbh.

As for the specs, 1 bathroom, 3/4 bedrooms (gonna use one of them for an office, the "4th" is the attic), so excluding the ground floor, 2 stories. Quite an good kitchen. I'll post pictures when I moved in.

I'm curious, how did the whole moving away from the family went for you? That's honestly the only real part I'm sort of looking up against.

At first, it's weird, because you're used to having other people with you
But it didn't take long for me to get used to being alone, but some times I still miss having people lol

I’m so proud of you! Time to be an adult

Congratulations man

That's kind of a relief. The place I'm moving to is where most of my friends are at anyways, it's just the next village over, so about a 5min drive away from my family.

Yeah time flies as hell man, it's a strange thing. Thanks man!

Congratulations man

Thanks!

I don't really pay much attention to the shoutbox, I just put same and that's about it

I'll only be creeping around when I'm aware you've got female relatives coming by.

Congratulations Wess!

If I were you I would think about investing in another toilet. Although 1 is more than enough, sometimes you gotta multi shit.

Big step in life. Best of luck in future endeavors as well!
