Well after continued broken promises of a move-in date to move back into my apartment, I finally said enough and found another place. In many respects I like it better. It is a house (h0me), on a corner lot, with nice mature trees. Room for a garden, lots of space for neat flower beds. Rooms are large, and with 10' ceilings is very pleasant on the hot days so far. With ceiling fans and the AC set at 80 it is very comfortable. This far south we don't have many very cold days in winter, so heating should not be all that big of a problem either. I've unpacked some, and seems I'm not making a lot of headway. I had a break-in during Christmas 2007 while away visiting family. At that time they broke into a shed where I had some boxes stored that needed to be unpacked. So I didn't know what was taken. Things I thought were, have been since found. This was one of the reasons I chose to move from that area to where I am now.
I've put a couple of photos of the house, there are things I want to do to it, but time, money etc intervene. But in time I will make a lot of improvements.
I want to add flower boxes with periennal in them on the street side windows (outside the porch). Line the sidewalk on either side with a ground cover of oxalis (maybe) or something similar that will bloom often, or maybe a mixture of flowers with different blooming dates for a more constant array of color through out the year.
