We are homeowners!

Tomorrow morning, Heather and I will close on our apartment, thus making us (gulp!) homeowners. We're buying a really nice two bedroom apartment in Park Slope, approximately three blocks from where we live now, and just one block away from where we used to live (I have issues with change, okay?). Anyway, this is all very exciting in an OMG-WE'RE-GOING-TO-BE-BROKE-FOREVER kinda way, so I figured I'd share some photos of the fabulous place with everyone. Enjoy!

New Apartment Photos!

So, is this kinda like buying a Condo? I've never heard of buying an apartment before. The double-hang in the master closet is the cat's arse, by the way; good stuff. Congrats. Always something to tinker with too, so keep that toolbox handy. :)

No, it's a condo. Apartments in brooklyn tend to be either condos or co-ops. Buying a condo is much nicer, as we've discovered.

Congratulations, Jason!

I bought my little townhome middle of last year (I can't believe how much time has passed) and haven't looked back. It's been a great experience, with so much still to do, stuff to buy, etc.

I'd love to see pictures once it's all decked out, too. :-)

This is actually kind of interesting from my point of view on the west coast. Never seen a place, apartment or otherwise, where the door is that thin. Over here, the window next to it would be the skinny, tall piece.

And this gallery reminds me: Why do you pay for .Mac, even though you own your own hosting + domain? I've looked at it several times, but can never come up with any proper justification to get it.

I keep renewing my .Mac subscription because I love using iPhoto with Homepage and I use Backup on a weekly basis to automate backups to my firewire drive.

Plus I use my .Mac e-mail account for all my software registrations, iSync to access my bookmarks remotely, and I like the free software Apple gives to .mac users on a regular basis (nothing directly from Apple, besides Backup, but there are free games and utilities from third parties).

Admittedly, I could do most of this on my own, and every year when I come up for renewal I have to really think about whether or not I want to keep going, but so far I've kept it for the last couple of years.

Congratulations Jason! I hope the new place works out well.

Interesting thoughts on .mac. I think the only use I've seen for it other than photos is podcasting, so its interesting to hear of its other uses.

Congrats, Jason. A really close friend of mine just bought a place with her boyfriend on the edge of Prospect Park, so I shudder to think about how much that place cost... Park Slope is a really nice area. Guess you might have to cut back on new comics for the next hundred years or so!
