Today we signed the lease on a house to setup the first coworking
space in Montevideo, Uruguay

It took:
* 7 months after we started floating the idea
* 4 months of looking at potential spaces to rent
* 34 houses visited in the search
* 5 failed offers on renting houses
* 8 coworkers who are joining day 1
* 4 coworkers who gave up on us because it took too long
* 6 rooms in the house we eventually rented
* 110,000 pesos required before they'd give us the keys

I threw up some before pictures, from us viewing the house as it is now.

The house is on a cobble stone dead end street one block from the
rambla, beach, and a big park. And for me personally at least, it
means that my commute is now literally a walk through the park. I live
on the other side of the park. :)

Here's the office location on a map:

There's not internet yet, but people are going to start working from
the space tomorrow using 3G modems. We'll tackle getting furniture and
the like next week!

saludos,
evan
