it's just that Mr. Tikifish and I are about to enter the scary waters of home ownership

Hey Tikifish, me and Mrs. emspace too (possession April 1, moving April 13 - good thing we're not superstitious)! Check this out: we're now paying $1010 for a 1-br. in a decrepit 80-year old bldg, communal laundry, tiny kitchen (good for singles who eat a lot of Hamburger Helper), landlord has control over the heat, astoundingly insufficient closet and storage space, progressive mildew problem...but we're near the beach.

We're moving to a 2-br. plus cute den/office/computer/Tiki space condo, 2 full bath, huge master br., scads of closet and storage, in-suite laundry, bldg is FIVE years old, and near the beach. Price difference: about $300 a month more. wish we'd done it long ago, but the timing is good, low-interest mortgages right now.

Good luck to you and Mr. Tikifish in the great home adventure! It is SO worth it!

aloha,

PS so, who's the new client anyway? :)
