House Hunting

Things sure have been hectic lately. Work continues to be nuts, I've been working longer hours than usual. I've been working so franticly to get some projects out that by the end of work day I feel thoroughly drained. Its not helping me stay motivated, I'm not getting enough practice time in. I ran through some forms in the living room today, felt good, wish I had a bigger living room...

I'm not sure if I've mentioned it before but I have a goal of buying a house this summer. I'm looking for a place in Edmonton right now, I've been spending a lot of time searching listings. This will be my first time buying a place so I'm a bit nervous. I'm even more excited! The idea of actually having a place to call my own, a place I can do anything I want with, is pretty neat.

I am definitely looking for a Kung Fu friendly home. I get excited every time I see a picture of a big back yard or a large stone terrace. I think its funny that I'm looking at pictures scoping for good meteor hammer swinging areas. Really I just want a bi-level with an open basement that has 10'-12' ceilings, that exists right? I might be dreaming. I have also contemplated getting a big lot and then building a free standing structure such as the one below... some of you might recognize it.

  1. So you’re planning a cross between a normal house and almost like a dojo then? I think that’s very interesting and really cool. I think what you need is a place with lots of space in order for you to move and really practice your martial arts. Good luck on your house hunting! :D

  2. I completely agree with you. Life can be pretty taxing and our jobs so demanding that we sometimes end up just completely tired at the end of the day. Anyway, if you’re planning to purchase a home where you can put a dojo area, you can consider looking up houses on the suburbs with a larger lot area or floor plan. Most houses don’t really come with a Japanese dojo, but you can always renovate. Good luck! :D

  3. With your job stressing you out, house hunting can be a good diversion for you. You can forget work for a while and focus only on the things you want for your dream house. But that doesn't mean you should prolong the experience. It would be more satisfying if you find your dream home in a short amount of time. Good luck!
