Our Tampa home (for a while)
February 12, 2004 We had little luck finding anything to our liking in the house market here. More correctly, there was nothing in the existing home market in our price range that was up to our impossibly high standards. So we've decided to build. The permit process here takes a while, which means the house should be ready for move-in sometime in the October/November timeframe. So that means that an apartment lease was warranted.
I've signed a 9-month lease on the Tampa apartment where we'll live while the house is being built. It's small (1050 square feet), but has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, so it should serve us well - even in the summer when Ben is home from college. Here, then, are a couple of pictures looking out from the screened balcony. The little things that you see on the railing in one photo are not cockroaches! They are just little leaves :-)
