i definitely got the place i looked at today. dude thought i was awesome
in the unstable sort of way. he thought odsp + unstable mental health +
musician + hitchhiking was like the definition of being cool. i'm
supposed to drop him off first/last tomorrow afternoon, and get the keys
on tuesday. i'm going to try and stall him for a few days, though. the
location has pros and cons. it's a five minute walk to the east of
walkerville, on the other side of a trainyard. getting there means
walking all the way around the train yard and then all the way under the
train yard. clearly a con in terms of travel time, but also a pro in
terms of it being isolated. it's also on the edge of an older working
class neighbourhood that's in the process of being updated to newer
houses. no human would possible go to this street unless they lived on
it. i sort of like that. it's cheap. 595 + hydro. but the other one was
650 all inclusive, bigger, nicer and in a more central part of town. so,
i'd rather take the other place, but i don't hate this place, either. i
don't know when i'll hear back, though. so, it's kind of a tender
operation - if i stall this guy too long he'll rent it to somebody else.
let's hope i can juggle this right.... if things fall through and one
or both of you come back looking again, i suggest you try to avoid the
rental companies in favour of going directly to small property owners.
that's what i've learned from this experience. no management company
would think hitching for hundreds of kilometres to build a recording
studio is a cool thing to do. either way, i'll be in windsor for a while
still. i'm currently in the walkerville branch of the windsor public
library, which is on tecumseh just southeast of where we were staying.
this afternoon, i'm going to do a really comprehensive survey of the
rental market in southern ontario.
