Audio House


Ive been looking into buying a house once the lease is up on the house i am renting.

I have 4 critera, and they run in this specific order.
(price is not a criteria, we have a range and are looking within it)

1) Big enough for me, my Fiancee, our 2 dogs, and to eventually have a couple kids.

2) There needs to be a location of accoustic value where i can work on getting a good 2 channel rig, that is not in the way, yet not shoved out of site somewhere where i wont mess with it.

3) Needs a good Livingroom, NO TV nook shoved near a corner, must have room for surround setup. and must not be CRAMPED

4) Must have a basement, finished or unfinished that i can eventually modify to build a Theater and a Gym

PLEASE TELL ME IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH CRITERIA LIKE THIS!!!!!

I was talking to a buddy and he said "Why dont you buy the house you are already in after yer lease is up?"
I replied "The basement is an accoustic wreck, and there is no good place upstairs for a 2 channel rig"

then they give me this incredulous look, like "What the hell is wrong with you? you are deciding on a house based on how well it will work with your stereo?"

To which i reply, well,... Yeah... If im gonna cough up 250,000 for a house(denver is very expencive) i want it to work for all my purposes.

They usually reply along the lines of "Yer on crack"

I hope im not the only one that looks at things like this.

I dont see why i cannot have all my criteria met.

Yeah...

there are definatly some places more expencive than denver, but it is definatly in the top 10%

i work with guys who commute from Wyoming all the way to denver each day because they can get a $400,000 colorado house for 150,000.

Man real estate sucks!

i wish i lived in an area without the living cost, but in telecom, if you have a job you kinda gotta keep it, cause you aint gettin another one! :)
Hah!
Yeah we have to, cause a 1000 sqft apartment will run you 1,300 a month! :)

I have buddys i was in the military with who got out and moved to some small town doing phone work at a ma-&-pa phone company, they make the same amount i do.

those lucky guys get a 3,000sqft house on 5 acres of property for 70,000.

unbelieveable.

I would move out to a place like that, but my folks live within driving distance and my fiancee refuses to move.

Too bad too. The city life is great, eexcept for all the people, traffic, smog, crime, etc etc. So i guess that leaves good restaraunts and alot of buldings eh?
hahahaha
Ya know Slipknot, i think that is a fantasitc idea, however, if my fiancee's car was parked outside and she had to go scrape off all the ice and snow to go to work, i would probably find all my gear thrown out on the lawn.

hahahahaha

We are looking at several houses right now, most of them have a family room and living room. I got dibs on the living room for my 2 channel setup!:)
