Our Rental House

Our rental house is quite nice. It's hard to believe it's just a rental. We're in East Asheville up on a mountain. It's just a short drive to downtown Asheville and is very convenient to everything. The view is spectacular. We wake up every morning and the first thing we see are the mountains. If you leave the door open when you're going to the bathroom you can even see the mountains while you pee. I don't know how to post pictures yet (not of us peeing) but will when I figure it out. In the meantime, you can see pictures of it on Erin's blog at erinmoves.blogspot.com. She took some and said she would post them for me, so she'd better.
The woman who owns the house, Cathy, lives in a separate apartment on the lower level and we have the main and upper level. She is very nice and has been very helpful. She travels a lot and is gone now so I think she appreciates that we'll watch over things while she's gone. She has been very accommodating and has been working in the gardens (which are beautiful) and got our waterfall working on our pond. We have a patio off the dining room near the pond surrounded by gardens and decks on the back and side and a deck facing the mountains where we have our coffee in the morning and read the paper. Then we watch the sunsets from there later.
Our part of the house is 2400 sq. ft. so we were able to fit all our crap in it and we also have some storage space in the garage. We arranged the garden ornaments in the garden and on the deck and it feels more like home. We have a year to get rid of things we're not going to use because I don't want to move some of this stuff again. Plus, our new house won't have as much space.
