I don't blame you, even so I grew up in the suburbs of North Jersey I'm not a big fan of city life myself.
I prefer the farm and country life over city life any day. :)

It's weird how the infrastructure's (pizza joints, fiber optic, gas and water lines) already all around me, as it has been since I was a kid... they just kept adding on to it, waiting for even richer people to move in, pay the increasingly higher taxes. Somehow my parents survived the gentrification, from the 1980's, up until until they passed away.
Krinkels doesn't mind (he grew up in Colorado) living in Philly, hasn't drove since he got there, though he does miss shooting his guns, which he left back in CO. Luis came from a poor village in South America, and was damn eager to hit the bright lights. There's something to be said for having everything close by... but, I don't mind driving long distances to get stuff or to fool around in town. I was never much of a consumer anyway :p The take-out's nice, but I can cook just as well by myself ;)
Yeah, I know your situation has sadly forced you to get out of the farmhouse. It's just that I was reading through the comments and noticed you are now looking for a place to stay for shorter than a year. That just doesn't seem very secure to me. Whatever that means.
The deal is: the farm gets sold, then I have to wait at least 2 weeks before the money (my cut) becomes available to me. The new owner -said- I could rent/lease from him for a few months, until I can find a new place to buy/rent/lease, but that might not be possible... still too many unknowns :\
Heh, skinned like an angora rabbit. Stripped from your possessions and thrown onto the streets. Even if the next owner takes you in, the place is just an empty shell of what it once was, and there's no way of knowing when they'll leave you in the cold again. Sound like proper torture to me.
Yeah, nothing says home like a property tax bill, and a water bill, and an electric and gas bill... but it's still a place where you can put a nail in the wall, wherever you damn well please. Rentals and leases are fine for people with careers and an ability to save up for something better, but I'm past my prime....
About time! So people can just buy your farm?? Has it always been on sale since the last deal fell through the gaps?? Do you have any say if you want to reject the sale and/or amp up the price at all?? What about your grand seed list??
Glad to see youre actually being a MAN this time ("kick her out of the house if she starts getting too anal")...hope things went more smoothly this time between you two...and like I said before, you deserve 50% (split amongst 3 people) of the cut for maintaining the farm all this time; anything less than 40% would be travesty...
Just try to stay positive about the situation, be polite, but not a pushover, the buyer will let you lease a place for a few months if need be...worst case scenario, sh*t happens, and you can take some solace in the fact that he should feel bad about backing up on his promises leaving you in a state of potential homelessness. With your handy-man skills and experience around farms/building maintenance whatnot I reckon it shouldn't be too hard to find a steady source of income. Certainly beats having random theoretical knowledge that has absolutely no marketable use -_-

At least your still close to NG.

Takes me a little over an hour at turnpike speeds to get there, from where I'm at now... I might have to go that far West of NG, to find something in my price range, should the check clear from the farm sale. Emily Youcis says I should just rent cheap in South Philly, but I was never a city boy lol. Never liked the idea of renting or leasing a place
