On Apartments...

Gee, I figured I'd have more to talk about.

Well! Today, we started moving stuff into Steron's apartment. I'd originally thought we were going to spend the entire day shuttling stuff back and forth, but apparently they decided to take one load of stuff up. One load...

I guess I can't rightly say "apartment" because they're renting a townhouse. It seems the difference is that townhouses are built on two floors, whereas apartments are only one. This eliminates upstairs neighbors, which is something I was rooting for. You can ignore neighbors to the side pretty well, but when you have people above you (or you are the people above), you suddenly start paying more attention to how loudly you walk.

I've also been trying to get permission from Steron to use their house as a DIY canvas...you know, coat an end table in pennies and then encase it in clear epoxy/clearcoat.

Back to the apartment. It was originally built to house troops coming home from WWII, so it actually has the same basic setup as a barracks. (Of that time, at least.) This means small kitchen. Like, really small kitchen. All cooking, baking, and washing can be done without moving the feet one step. The agency has just replaced all the flooring and major appliances, and they painted the entire house. I'm pretty sure they just had someone stand in the rooms when the carpet was gone and just spray paint at the walls...with a hose. But hey, it looks nice and is all very fresh and clean. It smells nice, something that was a requirement for S.

Perhaps I'll get pictures at some point.
