Apartment

So, who remembers the Brady Bunch?  Well, I think their kitchen appliances were newer than ours.  While everything is old, they are in working order.  Here are a few pictures of our apartment.  It is the second story of a house and the steps go up at a 60 degree angle.  I never thought I would find steps as steep as the ones I have at home.

Our house.  As I said, we are on the 2nd floor.  It is a 3 minute walk to work and a block to the main street.

My room. 

The living room.

Part of our kitchen.  The stove pulls out and the oven door slides up.

The fridge.  Notice there is no freezer door.  The freezer is in fact an ice box whose door is inside the fridge.

Our shower.  You can't see it from this picture, but the shower head is jury-rigged to be a real shower (it is designed to be hand held).  Dow made them put up the shower curtain too.

So, that's pretty much our apartment in a nutshell.  It's nice, but definitely not what I would have expected.  We can hear the guy downstairs all the time through the air vents.  Our first night he yelled at us (through the vents) because he didn't have any hot water.  Both my roommate and I had taken showers and neither of us had hot water - we both had lukewarm showers.  We have gotten used to it though.  I'm not sure if I'd rather have a dorm shower or this one.
