Dec 1: So the room that Gord told me about is in reality, scary and now I have the pictures to prove it. First of all there are two ways to get into it. There is a scary half broken door that is padlocked shut or you can go through the garage. Since the back door is padlocked, I'll take you on a tour through the garage. When you open the garage, which I don't think can be locked, you walk into a your typical garage. It's filled with things that haven't been used in years and are just collecting dust. If you strain your eyes, you'll notice a green tarp hanging at the rear of the garage. This is the entrance to the room I laid claim to

before I'd laid my eyes on it. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but in retrospect I don't think it was a brilliant thing to call dibs on. Once in the room, I think this is where the bed would go or it's where you would tie up medieval prisoners. I've been complaining the whole time, but it does have it's amenities, it has a window. Though I haven't mentioned New Zealand's complete lack of understanding and use of insulation. I don't think a

ny of the houses have insulation and yet they all have huge windows. They don't seem to have any insulation in the walls or the roof and the huge windows aren't double paned. So when it's cold outside, it's cold inside and when it's hot outside, it's hot inside. This is a picture of the roof and you can see sunlight between the brick at the top and the roof. Visible proof that the ceiling hasn't been sealed properly. So in conclusion, this room is unfit to live in and I'm crashing at Gord's flat in my sleeping bag. My Mountain Hardware sleeping bag was probably one of the smartest things that I brought to NZ.
What's above your "room"? From Street View (I'm such a stalker) it looks like the room over the garage where Joey could grow old.
ReplyDeleteIn addition to this being as cold-as, it appears to me that the wood is sitting directly on the concrete block. This = rotten FYI. In case you were thinking about buying the place.
