Close enough. :)

I grew up in Stanton and went to Dickinson HS.

Never saw any screen door factories, but saw lots of bank buildings in downtown.

I like how you've got a huge, Samsung HDTV and a plastic folding chair for your computer desk.

Oh, and IKEA couches suck for the most part. If you plan on sitting on it a lot I would suggest you get a real couch.

I think that instead of all this fancy equipment, you should be saving for a house. ;)

Other than that, one of the nicer apts I've seen.

get the matching tv stand.

mine looks nice with my tv

i have the 50" though. btw, nice crib :)

EDIT: also, have you actually sat on that couch? if you havent i would suggest so before you buy it. ikea couches may LOOK nice but they are NOT comfortable. my friend worked there and bought a leather couch set from them. it looked very nice, but it was hard as a rock. just warning you if you havent sat on it yet ...

i have the 50" as well. i got the tv just before i quit bestbuy, and the employee price difference was 100 dollars. pretty easy choice =P

where did you get your stand and how much did it cost?

and yea, i went to ikea a week ago and sat on the couch. it felt really comfortable. dunno, i'll try again. i'm not buying it over the web.

gimme three months =P i'm buying a couch this month, a tv stand next month, and a new bed set the month after that. one big purchase a month - need to pay off my credit card loans from college first. used 0% balance transfers to pay my fees.

That would be one nice apartment if you actually had something inside of it. Every room looks bare.

the folding chair is comfortable =P i haven't sat in a computer chair that i've liked yet. maybe one day i'll run into one.

thanks! i figure i'll see how long my project lasts and if i like the area (it's project based, but if i like a location i can stay there), and if i liked it, i was thinking about getting a condo next year. kinda hard to find a good condo with that nice a kitchen though :(

And nice apartment. :)
