Arrow NEW barebones apartment getting going - **56K be warned**

These are a couple of snaps from my barebones place in Champions Park, still a mess for aa coupole more days. My couch showed up though! room-store

Brad

barstools @ breakfast counter


messy walk in closet in bedroom. Picture doesnt do it justice, this closet is BIG.


the couch. finally somewhere to sit.


out on the deck. well from the inside.


uh... the hallway with cold fusion nightlight.


hats and **** on the wall in the living room


a luxurious sleeping arrangement


kitchen and trash


living room from kitchen


WTF is this??? Two bathroom doors, and a bedroom door. When people are over and drunk this is going to be fun... also because next to the bathroom door in the bedroom is the closet, and across from the bathroom door in the hallway is the double doors for washer/dryer and the pantry. lol


dell computers Roland and Marco


bathroom. note raid for killing bastard ants.


tiny TV


cool vaulted ceilings


um.... windows.


I love all the trees outside. I wish my a/c wasnt broken.... God I love Texas.

That's all.

i swear they put crack in that stuff... im going to be diabetic in no time


but yeah its a nice place. all things considered, not too shabby for 610/month. it just stormed so now its 75 inside instead of 95 which is always good. It DOES feel nice to be settled in. Finally getting everything under control. next up: the job hunt.... and a stick of deodorant

Thats not barebones, thats necessity's. Nice setup, better than I have at home. Cream soda, internet, TV, good stuff. I'd probably just sleep on the couch tho to complete the bachelor pad, lol. I don't think you'll need the space heater much in houston, or is that something else next to the bed? Your from PA right?

LS1tech is the only thing that ever runs on my computer except for half life 2 these days... and itunes for vladimir horowitz also.

but the thing is about the bath: its only 1 bathroom!!! There are two doors not ten feet apart for ONE bathroom!! Can you imagine the disasters of trashed people walking in on eachother!?!?! i cant WAIT.

and Joseph, its a tower fan, not a space heater. I am from PA but i am not THAT dumb.

i gotta get some pics or something up on the walls. also I really want to do something cool to that weird inverted space in between the living room and kitchen in the vaulted ceiling pic. maybe hang some kind of dreamcatcher or a ambient light, I dunno. maybe some fiber optics or something.

Just checking, I'm from PA also...(NE PA Wilkes-Barre/Kingston) Kerosene heaters and wood burning stoves were the only things keep you from freezing some winters. You'll need the fan more anyways now.

I wouldn't have made fun of you too bad if it was a heater.

BTW if you find a place there in Houston that sells Tastycakes or Middleswarth potato chips let me know ASAP, I'll arrange a special trip.

Thank you, and 3rd floor, 1112. Did you get anything from my referral? I noted you when I signed the lease with the hope that there would be a kickback for you.
