Thanks for all your advice. Today we put the deposit down and the lease will be signed tomorrow.

I too am a firm believer in spending time apart. Heck, I don't even live with her now and I need at least one evening away from her to hang out with my friends. We both realize we need our space...at least for now.


So here comes the pre-move in argument #1:

What to do with our bikes. I have an $800 Cannondale mountain bike, and she has a $400 Trek. I want to hang them in the tiny alcove area under the stairs and put some sort of curtain or something so you can't see them when you are in the living room...she wants to chain them to a tree in the back yard. WHAT THE FUCK...it isn't a friggin $49.95 Huffy!

Even if I was guaranteed the bike wouldn't be stolen, I still don't want my bike rotting out in the elements. Granted, I know she doesn't want people seeing bikes in our living room (oh, the horror )...but this is rediculous. The other option is put them up in the den/office upstairs, which she doesn't want to do.

What the hell is it with women? Its not like I want to store my cylinder head in the living room or perform a transmission rebuild in the bathtub (although it probably will be sitting in the den) .

Mark my words...I shall win this argument...or lose my testicles trying.

 

I give it a month..lol That's some pretty mickey mouse shit to be arguing over. Keep them on the porch or in the living room...w00t

 

Just go ahead and hang them there. You're protecting your investment. She can put hers outside if she wants to, but you're paying half the rent as well. YOU DO have your say. Plus, it is trendy suburban and can be used as a decoration (says the style/design guru Maite ). The curtain solution makes sense.

 

yeah... what he said ..... just make sure they are nice and clean b4 u hang them up inside ......... Granted I used to park my motorcycle in my kitchen

 

you said you have alittle yard area? go to home depot and get a little shed.. take the fonrt wheels off and toss them in there...and hten put a lock or 3 on it

 

You just moved it out to the patio to make room in the kitchen for mine.

 

I thought about that, but I think those things are at least $200, aren't they?
