Have any of you guys been in one of those "luxury apartments" I keep seeing advertised? Are they actually good or are they just the same quality apartments you find elsewhere with some special branding? Do you think it's worth living in one?

 No.54

I don't see the point. If you're in an apartment you're most likely looking for cheap but decent housing. So why pay a premium for fancy unnecessary features when you're on a budget? Personally I'd much rather have a simple little house than a luxury apartment. Not worth it unless you're rich or materialistic.

I once had a black roommate. He was an immigrant from Africa. He had no concept of personal hygiene. He didn't bath or anything. You could smell his disgusting odor from 50 feet away.

Thanks for stating the obvious OP.

 No.12

I had an African immigrant for a roommate and he was a pretty cool guy. He let me use his shit (tools, car battery charger, etc) and didn't leave a mess outside his room. He was also an engineeringfag and actually had a job and all that shit. 9/10 would live with again.

The Paki roommate made the house smell like shit though (muh curry) and wasn't very clean. 5/10, he didn't bother me much other than making shit smell bad. Very rarely had to interact with him.

inb4 gb2/leftypol/, I wouldn't visit that shithole even to conduct a raid

 No.53

my roomate's black (not really a nigger, generally hates what most black ppl are into). he's also my best friend so i guess that's the 10/10 roomate. I'm slowly converting him to black nationalism as a special project of mine so he'll be more accepting of my own separatist feelings.

How to build a pallet garden.

The apartment complex I live in was going to let me make one of these. They are space efficient as fuck, and can hold a surprisingly large amount of plants. OC pics as season picks up.

Pallet gardens are excellent alternatives to large gardens for growing smaller sized vegetables, herbs and ornamental flowers. Garden blogs and garden websites are noting pallet gardens as an up-and-coming trend. We decided to build a
pallet garden and found that a few modifications to the original designs really make this garden suitable to plant production. Schools with limited budgets and space can benefit from growing pallet gardens. Lumber costs can be expensive to
build raised beds, and many schools simply do not have the space to plant raised beds let alone traditional gardens. Below are the LSU AgCenter directions and pictures to construct and plant a pallet garden.

Materials Needed

'''1 pallet, a staple gun and staples, landscape fabric, soil and
seedlings.'''

Step 1. Find a pallet. Don’t spend money on a new one; visit a
local dumpster or speak with a grocery store manager. Pallets

After two to three weeks of initial growth, the roots will keep soil from falling out of the pallet garden when you flip it vertically. Flip the pallet to a standing position. Regularly water and use a liquid fertilizer. Construct the pallet garden in the permanent growing location. Once filled with wet soil and plants, pallet garden are very heavy!

Not sure if this qualifies for this board, but I lived in a trailer park for a while, which is sort of like being in an apartment complex.

Pros: Dirt cheap, and my park happened to be in a very pretty area
Cons: Usually a long ass distance from town

Overall I recommend it to someone looking for a cheap solution to renting.

 No.30

This board was created mainly for people living in apartments, but threads like yours are allowed. Basically if it's related to living in a rent-able space then it is allowed. I will be updating the rules shortly to make this more clear.

I'm looking for apartments and I never thought about living in a trailer park. There are quite a few that are inside the city. I have a couple of questions though.

1.)What are the neighbors like? I tend to think of people in trailer parks as pretty trashy.

2.) Was the overall quality of the home similar to an apartment? Was it more run down? I know it will depend on which park I go to, but I'm just wondering if the quality in general is worse than apartments.

 No.41

Well, I lived in an actual trailer (think RV), not a mobile home. So there was the cost for me of getting a trailer first. I got a used 1980's trailer that was about 25ft long. I found it very cozy.

My neighbors were pretty normal. They were mostly older, middle class type people who had retired. I only ever saw 1 family with a kid. I did have a suspicion that some of my neighbors were doing illegal shit but I never felt in danger. I kept my head down and avoided interacting with people but the few convos I did have were pleasant enough. The park was kept pretty clean. There was a shower facility there that nobody seemed to use so I took showers in there instead of my tiny trailer bathroom.

There was another park nearby that had mobile homes in it. It did look run down and kind of trashy in some sections, but I never felt nervous walking around there, and some of the people had made their yards look as neat and tidy as they could. Oddly I almost never saw the residents there. I think generally people try to avoid getting stuck talking to neighbors.

Hello OP, I hope you don't mind me adding a few things.
(mind you that this is not the same for every place out there just most of them)

When you move into a trailer you are only renting the land, you buy the building that you live in. That alone come with some ups and downs

Pro: The trailer is yours, you can do whatever you want with it from installing solar cells to painting the inside with dicks.

You can also have whatever pets you want.

Con: The trailer is yours, If something breaks that's your problem. Don't know how to do plumbing? it's going to cost you to call someone.



Now like I said, you rent the land, and at dirt cheap prices too more then 50% less then an apartment of the same size, and most of the time you have a yard.

This is old news, but I thought I'd go ahead and post this here: http://www.skysaverusa.com/3d-printed-building/

Just left my current place to move to a studio all on my own. It's a bit dingy, but I like it.

Downside is that it came with some furniture I don't wanna use, like a shitty CRT TV and the landlord doesn't want to take it. I think I'll wrap it in some plastic and put it outside on the (semi-enclosed) deck. My only concern is that she'll blow a fuse over it.

Speaking of blown fuses, only two out of six electrical sockets in the living room work. Whoops. I have a feeling landlady won't like coughing up cash to deal with that. I'm a bit reluctant to spoil relations this early on, especially as we already had a bicker about fixed-term vs periodical. (I wanted fixed.)

Any comments, /rent/?

Whoops. Did notice you were from New Zealand. I didn't know what it's flag looked like so I thought it was Australian and gave you the Australian tenants rights. My bad.

The only difference is an extra star, it's near impossible to tell from the tiny flags.

Yeh, she'll probably fix the sockets. Living in Wellington, $235 p/w.

That's why we're getting a flag referendum! (Also, it helps distract people from the spying and corruption.)

Not too bad, is it a decent size? I'm in Nelson paying $230 p/w for a good sized single bedroom.

With the furniture and tv I'm pretty sure she can't force you to keep it there unless it's in the contract since it's her stuff occupying your space.

 No.40

>>39
Unfortunately, the majority of the stuff is on the lease.

We forgot to put the couch on, but she later put it on her one and wanted to put it on mine. (We forgot to do it then, too.)

It's decently sized studio/bedsit.

What do you think makes a good roommate? I'm moving into an apartment with a friend soon and I don't want to become one of those assholish roommates I hear about a lot.

 No.27

if you use up the last of the TP, replace it

if you use up the last of anything, replace it or at least let people know

 No.28

Be considerate of your noise, for fuck's sake.

Buy some headphones.

Close your doors.

Don't Skype people late at night.

How do you make your place feel more home-y, /rent/? I've just moved in and a friend told me that it felt lonely, dead and miserable, like a hotel.

I'm hesitant to express my tastes, because I'm a weeb at heart (or at least, was) and have enough social awareness to realise that a poster of a magical girl probably isn't the best thing for a grown man to have. Aside from weebyness, I don't really have any strong interests.

I could put some photos on the wall, I suppose. My father's a photographer, so that could be nice. Actually, yeah, that's a good idea. I'll grab some of those easily removed, non-damaging hooks and stick up a shitton of his framed photos. That should give at least some feeling of life to the place.

 No.14

photos and artwork really do help. Natural light too.

Books!

 No.18

Maybe put a few a few potted plants in there that are small and don't take up much space.

 No.22

>>18
Not touching pot plants. A previous flatmate had a bunch of them and didn't water them at all. They died and dropped dirt and crap everywhere. Never again.

Books could work, but there's little room for them in my flat.
