[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 656599, member: 1963"] I have no qualms about buying second hand furniture so long as its not upholstered stuff. Bedbugs are practicially endemic in the Midwest US right now, and that's an issue I'd as soon have nothing to do with. I only have two chairs that came with my tiny dinette set. I figure I can get two more chairs with which to fake it for the time being, or pick up cheap dinette set down the road a bit. The apartment has a living room/dirning room combo and a large bedroom. I have to decide whether the desk goes in the bedroom or in the living room. The closet/dressing room is accessible from the bedroom and the "whatchamacallit room". It's a strange layout as the sink is separated from the toilet and tub/shower by a door, basically in a separate room that is accessible from both the bedroom and the foyer. the huge closet is accessible from the "sink room and the bedroom. One thing I cannot figure out from the videos is where exactly I can put two litterpans. One will go in the "sink room". The other probably In the bathroom proper. if there's room, that or in the kitchen, which doesn't thrill me. I have to have two litterpans as Squeaky doesn NOT share nicely at all. The patio opens off the living room. The patio appears to be next to the front door which opens into the living room. It's a weird layout that will require the use of a nightlight in the bathroom o prevent walking into walls at least until I get used to the layout of the place. The washer/dryer is a stackable unit in the kitchen. That will take some getting used to as I'm going from high-capacity units to tiny units where a set of bedsheets will be a load. It will mean doing laundry several times a week. Luckily, water is included in the rent as I suspect the washer is not, unlike my current washer, a high efficiency model. Right now, I am washing all my winter clothing here, so as not to have to deal with that once I move. I will probably take seasonal clothing to a local Laundromat to do all at once as opposed to spending a week straight doing laundry twice a year. There is also an electric stove, which will be an adventure as I've never cooked on one before. Tips and pointers will be appreciated. My mother has one in her flat and loves it, but she's a rotten cook, so her advice is suspect. My one concern with the electric stove is that the burners stay hot when turned off. I worry about the cats getting up on the stove and burning themselves. One thing that will be nice is that with the place being built in the 90s, Is that there are oodles of outlets. [/QUOTE]
