My buddy just bought an old church and converted it into a giant loft style home with a massive basement art studio. He paid 40k i think and threw 20 into making it a home. Now hes morgtage free and wonders why he pissed away all those years in the city

There's an empty church next door we had our eye on, but the guy wanted WAY too much. We have a friend from NYC who bought one in a nearby town and is slowly fixing it up.

There's a lot to be said for being debt-free.

Fuck offf! That old school is yours? You just became the coolest curmudgeon on the CC, dethroning miserable Topper. Love it!!

Yep - moved here in 2006. Had some cold winters to start off as we figured out what to do, but life is good now. Art studios in most of the old classrooms and storage in others.

I work like 30 hours an month and all my bills are paid. The rest of the time I'm fucking around in my greenhouses or floating in the pool.

To live this laid back of a lifestyle in Vancouver wouldve meant marrying money or working 6 days a week to scrape by in some hunk of shit house in a clustefucky neighbourhood i cant afford.

This.

I still work a lot, but on my own terms for the most part and doing what I enjoy. Mortgages suck.

"a curmudgeonly old man"

Holy shit, Corny, you just became even cooler in my eyes.

That looks like it could be any of the old elementary schools still in Vancity. Sadly, many of them are empty and not being used anymore.

I would find it creepy to walk the hallways at night though.

At least you never have to worry too much about tornados damaging your school. Man, you need to fly an Orca flag in your front yard!

Is that your old 70s ford f100 P/U? I love those old pigs

Good eye! Yep, that's my baby - best $250 I ever spent! It's my yard work truck for the most part, but starts every time and runs great.

Cornys house looks like the school from Hock-a-loogie

Tornadoes will rip through anything - I've seen a few schools destroyed - but - we do have some very safe places to go if one gets too close.

The first week here, sleeping on my own was a little weird as there were lots of odd noises (like the water fountains kicking on in the middle of the night) - and the first night we stayed here, some local kids broke in!

There's a lot of empty schools everywhere. It's too bad as they're built really well, but neglect will get to them all in the end. :/ This one was is use up until we bought it.

That’s great and all Cornuck, but Tornado alley?? You can have that school. “Don’t worry kids, we are going to see the wizard of oz!!

[Carl Yagro]

Ha! Did you go all Groundskeeper Willie on them kids that broke in?

You should get an old yellow schoolbus and turn it into a guesthouse.

I hear ya - there's problems every place, so a rare tornado won't worry me. When checking out the area, about the only recent news I could find back then was about the next town over that had just been hit by 4 in one day.

When the sirens go off to let people know there's one spotted in the area, people get outside to look for them.
