This DUer has found a job in Broomfield/Denver CO ....

[Trajan]

I start this monday .. April 4th, 2005

I will be establishing a secondary household (IE renting a room ) for the length of this contract work (approx. 3 - 9 months ) .... It is a good job and I intend to make the most of it .... I will be leaving my family in MO (Will visit once a month), because I need this work just to stay afloat .... That is how desperate we are ....

Now: the question: Does ANY DUer in Denver/Broomfield and vicinity have a spare room they would like to rent to a safe, serene, secure DUer who is a family man, who rarely drinks (and doesnt get drunk), who doesnt use drugs, who is intelligent (I think) and who is a good progressive (and therefore easy to get along with ... ) ... etc ...

I want to preserve as much money as possible, but I prefer a wholesome and clean environment that a DUer would, of course, provide ....

Anyways ... I leave Sunday morning on this great trek .... It will take me approx 11 hours to get there .... I will be in motels if I have no other good options ....

Btw: I would gladly accept even temporary shelter, until I can find a decent room ....

So: IF you have such a room, at a reasonable price for a goodly DU regular, then please feel free to PM me .... I can really use the help ....

Thanks to all who consider this or respond ....

Dontcha love DU ? ......

Indeed ....

1. Good luck with this. I think you will enjoy your stay in CO.

Beautiful area--much larger and more populated than when I lived ther some--oh, let's see--50-odd years ago. I'm contemplating going back for my golden high school reunion next year, but think I'll pass, not because Colorado isn't a gorgeous place to be but because I feel like a totally different person than I was back then. Part of my transformation has happened recently, since I've been a part of DU. Best wishes on your new adventure. Please be sure to take advantage of all the gorgeous mountain scenery not that far from you. If I were there, you would definitely have a DUer and SO who would welcome you with open arms. Take care and be safe!

2. Considering you're looking at the Broomfield

Good luck, you'll need it.

4. That was my first thought

Maybe Lafayette or Louisville proper would offer more affordable options. Would require more of a commute, but that's part of the "new" Colorado experience. :eyes:

5. I have no idea what prevalent rental rates exist ....

Which is why I depend on the goodly denizens of DU to inform me of such facts ....

Broomfield is the objective, the communities on the periphery will be just fine for me ....
