you can't get an std sharing a washing machine and drier, come on now. When 
I moved in here, the toilet, shower, all plumbing was brand new, due to 
construction and destruction debris, I spent 4 hours cleaning/washing the 
stove and oven which hadn't been used in over 10 years while this place was 
empty, I own the fridge myself. I saved a very long time for my TS-2000 and 
all the rest of the equipment I have which is not much, certainly not enough 
to make the difference in renting a smallish apartment and owning a house. 
Very likely it's all going to be for sale soon anyway as my girlfriend's pay 
took a serious cut and we're not making ends meet so it's almost definite 
most if not all of it will be for sale very shortly. I sure can't do it on 
what I get right now and that's about all there is. I know a lot of it will 
be sold, I'll make up a price list this week if anyone's interested in any 
of it and knows what I have let me know, I'll probably post a list soon but 
the majority of it I don't want to ship and will probably take to a ham fest 
in October, if my girlfriend's car is still running and that's very 
questionable.
