House Hunting

We are looking for a new rental home. The pickings are very slim. My goal is to find a house in the country with enough land to garden and raise chickens. I'd like for the house to have a comfortable kitchen and plenty of storage. We still need to live close enough to Leon's job to not kill the gas budget.

The first house we looked at was only 4 minutes from his job, but it is in the city. It has a very large back yard with enough storage space.

There is even the bonus of a very nice deck.

Cons:

-teeny tiny kitchen (the washer/dryer go in the kitchen to make up counter space)

-monthly rent is about $100 more than we can afford

-it is in the city, so no chickens
-it is next to a working railroad track
