My new apartment is not the fanciest place, but it is perfect for me. It needed a lot of dirty work. Fixing things, cleaning, spider killing, appliances, and much more under those categories. I didn't care. I was ready for the task. It took a good 2 days moving in, but once all settled...I had the view to the pacific and my own place to relax in.
Some people search for beautiful places, in my case, I made a place beautiful!
