I hated Chicago-area housing prices. Like living above a millionaire's 100 year-old garage for $1200/month? Please.

It's so refreshing to have space--a few more rooms to move around in. You can justify it by saving in TP costs.

Aw, you should know that people would read your blog if you lived in a cardboard box... or a mansion shaped like a cardboard box.

You mean I've been reading all this time and you don't have granite countertops? Seriously, what was I thinking? That's like, my number one qualification for reading someone's blog.

Can I just reiterate the fact that you are the ultimate shopper? Doing something gutsy like that wouldn't even occur to most people. Like me.

And I just clicked on your ads.

Wow! So jealous. We almost rented a house that was 100 a month less than what we are paying now... but there were some other tradeoffs we couldn't deal with. Having a landord that close may be better than you think. In my experience, when you are renting an individual home, it often pays to have them close by for maintenance/logstical issues. Plus it sounds like they are invested in the quality of the house, so they will be on top of things. I'd gamble on it being a good thing as long as if you see a possible relationship issue, to nip it in the bud and assert boundaries. If you establish those things early it won't be awkward later. Awesome! Very excited for you guys.

I think you stumbled upon my dream home. Enjoy!!

Of course, to get more reader devotion from me, you'd have to move into a major league dugout, the back room of a Fox Sports Grill, or the basement at ESPN in Bristol. However, for your sake, I hope it all works out. Though have the landlord as yardmate could be dicey.

Just don't confuse the bidet and the mudroom or you'll end up with wet feet either way.

Of course, if there's a guest room I'm not sure how I can bid farewell to the Lincolnshire Courtyard Inn (great location but not remodeled since the 80's) as our Chicagoland home away from home.

I envision my bum safely and warmly ensconsed in a lovely little chair and a 1/2 overlooking your garden - sipping Martinelli's ( the fanciest of all non alchoholic beverages )and eating some homemade apple pie!( oh, and I take mine with ice cream straight up in case you are wondering)

I already told you that we'd pay you what we would have in hotel bills.

But I'm NOT trying to influence your decision.
