rain, rain, go away...

Allergy season has hit so hard that even the cats are sneezing.

Took M into Auburn after work to drop off his truck so he can get a new windshield. Because long drives in the rain during rush hour are just *so* awesome.

We ended up taking a detour to look at a house that M had found on a listing today. Huge place (5bd/3ba), less than 250k. Which meant my first thought was "ok, what's wrong with it?".

Definitely a fixer-upper. With a view into a neighbor's yard full of dead cars and a rusted RV. Well, that answered *that* question. Doesn't matter, we renewed our lease for another year anyways and it's still a buyer's market. So next year we'll be looking at a potential mortgage instead of a lease. Later than we'd wanted to since we wanted to do it this year, but some things are worth the wait.

Yep, for the most part renting is cheaper, especially in Seattle.

We looked at a house off the Issaquah-Hobart road that was going for about 230k (and it was BIG), but it needed some work.
