Plus, with the housing market being what it is, people abandoning their houses is all the rage. So it should be easier than ever.
This will be amazing.
Warehouse chic anyone?
I know of a house that might be good for this.
"establish it as your primary residence", squatters rights - while this is amazing, I'm a little worried that this'll either be a task that no one does, or a task that everyone complains about people doing half-way.
So: am I wrong about this (and I hope to hear all about your new addresses)? Or - best change to make? Just clear out the primary residence part, and leave the decorate, spend x days, etc?
"Try to" should be inserted before "establish it as your primary residence".
And C.M. does the house you speak of, happen to be next door to where you live?
They say it takes 21 days to break a habit.
Eh, I think the primary residence part should be played up if anything - certainly not dropped.
And, given how much commitment that will take, the score assigned to this should be increased.
I like the 21 days idea. It's important for tasks to be difficult enough to be challenging and illuminating for the tasker but to still be within the realm of the possibility. I especially like the idea of making it 21 days because I don't think there's many people who'd be willing to move permanently to an abandoned building but I think there'd be a fair number of people who'd be willing to do for a time period
And once you've done it for 21 days, it's a hell of a lot easier to do it again.
Nah. 21 days is too long.
I say 3 weeks.
No, Lincoln, it is in fact down the street.
Oh, I am so down for this.
