I said that house hunting was my favorite part of moving, didn’t I? Lucky me! I get to do it all over again without the hassle of having to fly somewhere new to actually do it. I think I also said do-overs can be great…so with that in mind, I made a short list of apartments this morning that L.S. and I can go look at this week. Three of the apartments are almost identical being furnished units on the top floor of a brand new building in downtown Sandnes. That will be close to work for the breadwinner and the top floor means there is a nice view of the fjord for me. The only thing I am not too crazy about….it looks like from the pictures that the nice large terrace is shared by all three units. Cosy….I wonder if the Norwegians are topless sunbathers, like the Danes are.
Appointment all set with an agent who can show it to us at 2PM tomorrow. We have competition, someone is coming to see it at 3…but there are 3 apartments. I hope 78 sq. meters is big enough because the location seems to be pretty good with a supermarket right across the street. Three blocks down the street turns into the pedestrian mall in downtown Sandnes which is great for me, and the train station is only a few minutes walk. I didn’t bother to call anyone else on my list because if this one works out, I’m done.
The agent asked me how long we expected to be here and I told her 3 to 5 years (based on the latest intel), which will hopefully play to our favor. We might need some help since L.S. wants to work out some deal whereby we get to use their furniture until ours arrives (in my dreams). He must have sensed I was plotting a trip back to Canada. I wonder if he’ll accept that we desperately need Miracle Whip and Shake ‘n Bake….oh! I forgot his suit and sport jackets, didn’t I? Those are important! I must go back for them!
