Dog Stress

Moving is stressful, even for dogs! Luckily, Chewbacca's favorite aunt was able to give her a bath and massage. Seriously though, my dog is really stressing out. I've been so busy helping my mom with this move that I have, unfortunately, been neglecting my little dog. I keep telling Chewbacca that the madness will be over soon. Dogs know when you don't pay attention to them, and I admit that I've been guilty. Sorry Chew!

My New Home

Every day I've been packing up the Mini with boxes of my stuff and slowly moving into my new digs. They call my car a Mini Cooper for a reason. MINI. It is a very small vehicle. I will have to make about 30 trips. Once I get my bed in the new place, I will officially move in. Below is pic of my new home, courtesy of Google Maps.

The Garage

Before I can move into my new digs, I will have to help my mom clear out her's. Here's a picture of my mom's garage. I kid you not, there is no room to walk. It is my job to clear out this garage as well as all the other stuff in the house. Oy vey!

San Francisco Resident

I am now an official San Francisco resident. I found the perfect studio in the Outer Richmond, two blocks from the beach. I really hit it off with my new land lady, and with my steady job, she asked me to move in right away. I had to take a 4 digit cash advance from my credit card in order to cough up the first month's, last month's, security and pet deposits. Right now I am a sitting amputee, having given my arms and legs to the credit card company. I'll deal with the consequences later, but for now, I can bask in the glory of being a new San Francisco resident!

$1100 / 1br - Luxurious Address To Call Home (SOMA / South Beach)

My mom recently retired and has decided to sell the house and spend her twilight years living out of her suitcase. She plans to do a lot of traveling and will most likely set up headquarters at my brother's Visalia home. As a result of this decision, I got evicted! I am now actively looking for a place to live, and Craigslist has become my best friend. I found an amazing loft in the SOMA area for dirt cheap, and I had to inquire about it. $1100 for a luxurious loft in San Francisco! This ad sounded too good to be true, but my curiosity certainly got aroused. I responded and the response below confirmed that this was a hoax. Damnit! Oh well, I'm still in the search for a place to call home, so if anyone has any leads, let me know. My requirements: dog friendly, $1000-$1500, no room mates, preferably in San Francisco.

Greetings!
Thanks for your email. The apartment is still available.
I decided to rent the apartment because we are going to spend more time here in West Africa, about 3 years.. Let me start by introducing myself.

I must confess that I am very very new in this landlord business. However, My name is Nathan Kovach. I own the apartment located at 1247 Harrison Street #14 San Francisco, CA 94103. Due to my job as a missionary I spent less time in the States so I could not get a hold on any Realtor to handle this rent issue, although it was when I knew how long we are going to stay in Africa that I decided to rent out the apartment.. However, the initial plan was to sale out the apt. which I tried, but sometimes the agents inflates the prize and it takes longer to sell. because of this reason and more we need a responsible person (With good credit) that can take very good care of it as we are not after the money , but want it to be clean and for you to take it as if it were yours.

As you know that the the rent is reasonable, One Mr. Jeremy sent an email about the apartment and I told him that I cant give him the apartment because he is married with 4 kids, I do not want his children to get my property damaged because of our future plans on the apartment.

The rent is $1,100 No extra fees.
Below is my phone numbers
0112348081540815 or +2348081540815

2) Your Full Address & Phone Number :

4) Marital status?
5) Rental Payment plan ( Every 1 month,3 month or 6 months?) most convenient
