This is a long shot, but...what the hell. I have a 2 bedroom / 1 bath ground floor apartment for rent in Cascade, MD. I personally updated the electric. New plumbing. Fresh paint. Brand new heat pump in December. Hardwood floors in bedrooms and hall. Ceramic tile bathroom. Linoleum eat-in kitchen. Good carpet in living room. Mud room to kitchen. Covered front porch. 1000sf living space. 1000sf unfinished cement basement with Bilco entry doors. 1/3 acre. Location: dead-freakin'-center in some of the best riding roads in western MD (I live half a mile from the apt - I KNOW THE ROADS!). Across the street from a park. 2 doors from a pizza joint. 2 doors (the other way) from a Legion. The park has a rec center and community center. 1.5 miles from a beer store. 3 miles from a laundromat (has w/d hookup in the apt if you have a w/d). 5 minutes from Waynesboro PA (grocery, walmart, stores, fuel, Lowes). 15 minutes from Thurmont MD. 20 minutes from Frederick MD. And...half a mile from some putz who works on Buells  I plan to put a shed in the back for a mower...if a Bueller gets it, I'll make the shed big enough for a bike. PM me if you're interested and I can send photos and more details  (Message edited by ratbuell on May 04, 2014) | ||

If it wasn't a 4hr commute each way I'd be all over that like a fat kid at a candy store. | ||

c'mon Froggy, that's what...half a gallon each way the way you ride?? | ||

The timing is right but unfortunately the location is not. I am moving within the next few months with my girlfriend, as much as I would love to get away from the hell hole that is just north of NYC, I would be given up an awesome job. I currently have a great job that has me set for life. Great pay, benefits, perfect hours (1-9pm, no rush hour traffic), and to top it off it is low stress and I rarely have to lift anything. The job is perfect, and I really don't want to give that up. I'd love to get away from it all and live in a cave or a treehouse or something like that in the middle of nowhere (as long as I still got fiber internet), but realistically that ain't going to happen. I've been debating to moving to Pennsylvania, the closest portion is a little over an hour each way commute, rent is dirt cheap, but odds are I'd lose access to a decent internet connection. | ||

This d3scribes my situation perfectly . . .
I'm looking at buying a piece of land with an old barn that can be restored. But . . for present. . . I start my new job a week from today and it I were writing my own script I couldn't have done better. How do you like the view out the window of my office trailer for the next 3 years?  | ||

Nice view, Court. Hope you take a bike along to your new job site. Actually doesn't look all that different from the area near Ratbuell's rental property. | ||
| Ratbuell |
That is a nice shot, Court... Here's my view, from my front porch:  Last year...we're not that green yet this year. I love me a nice view | ||

WOW,.. that's some ball throwing frisbie flying doggy wonderland! | ||
| Jeepinbueller |
wow i'd be all over that! the hour and a half commute to Westminster wouldn't be unbearable... but we all know it'd be close to 2.5 hours with 70 traffic... or the "long way" back road fun, regardless! | ||
| Ratbuell |
Why 70? 116 to emmitsburg to 140 thru taneytown... I'll make the run one day for kicks but it isn't bad at all... | ||
| Court |
Hmmmm . . may be worth a trip down just to look at the place. But . . knowing me . . .I'd end up renting it and ruin the neighborhood. | ||
| Ratbuell |
I'm already in the neighborhood...values are bottomed now!  | ||

Tonight's sunset, from my porch. Un-manipulated colors, simply resized for badweb. Taken with a cameraphone. It was a nice one Sunset and thunderstorm rolled into one!  |
