Well, this isn't exactly an episode MTV Cribs, but I did just move, and thought I'd brag a bit about the swanky new digs I find myself occupying. It's taken the better part of 2-3 weeks to get moved in and even as unpacked as you'll see in these photos, so there's still work to be done.
 |
| So let's start the most important part of the house: the loft/my office area. That is a nice L-shaped desk you might say. ROUND. |
 |
| As Ben Reitz famously put it: this is where the magic happens. You can't see it, but that window is encrusted on the outside with spider webs and grossness. |
|
|
 |
| This is the view looking down from my desk into the living room. There's a sweet wood beam obstructing the view. I climbed out on it this evening and it easily supports my weight. The cats like it too. Lisa says of the beam "there are so many ways a drunk person can injure themself in our home!" |
 |
| This is the main floor/living area. If you were to look up and to the right of where this was taken you would be looking at the loft where the previous photos were snapped. Looking at this photo, it looks a bit shopped, but I can attest that we aren't living in photoshop. |
 |
| Living room, shot from the opposite angle. The house is constructed on the side of a hill so the first floor is at tree top level, which makes for a nice view. We are rather like Ewoks. Living among the trees. |
 |
| Here's the deck that's adjacent to the living area. You can have tea out here. Or Red Bull. Or Scotch. I dunno what people drink out here, but the mosquitoes are bad enough at night that I don't say out here. |
 |
| This is the view looking out the back of the property. That path in the foreground is the Raleigh Greenway, which is a paved walking/biking trail, which is pretty nice. I have been on it once so far. Gotta get my Greenway on. That truck came with the place. We just park out there for shits and giggles. |
|
 |
| Here's the basement. As you can see, we poop out cardboard boxes instead of regular stool. Like the truck, the pool table came with the place and is deliciously usable! The couch was free and leather so it's now the rec room recline-o-matic. |
 |
| Also in the basement, our bikes and a real dartboard (with dangerously pointy darts!). The dartboard came with the place, our landlord removed the white circus elephant that came with the place at our request. I haven't become an ace at either pool or darts yet. I have, however, become pretty good at putting holes in the wall to either side of the dart board. |
 |
| Behold the guestroom. It is poorly lit. But if you ever want to stay with us, this is where you'll be confined/hosted. The window isn't broken, we just have a whiteboard over it for ... some .. reason. Why the heck is that whiteboard covering the window? Seriously people. |
There are two more bedrooms, and like a jillion bathrooms (aww geez it's gonna be raw keeping all of them clean). I couldn't get photos of the bedrooms since they're rather dark, not unlike the guestroom. But they're pretty standard/boring. Basically just rooms with beds in them. Woopety doo. The cool part is my desk area. I mean, did you see that sweet loft? Yeah. That's what I'm talkin' about.
So yeah, when something OTHER than moving happens I'll probably blog about it. Right now that's essentially everything that's been happening the last week or two.
