Let me explain my current living situation. I live in a house with eight other students on 28th and Granville. They are all friends I made at the Jewish summer camp that I have been attending for the last three years.
I've been procrastinating about writing this post for a while because of school, but here we go, this is my house:
This is my room! I share a room with Madi, plus we have a guest bed in our room. We also have a fireplace for some strange reason.
This is the master bedroom bathroom. There are no showers that aren't connected to rooms, so there are three people other than Me and Madi that also use this shower.
This is Rachelle's room. She is currently taking care of her dog Charlie while her parents are vacationing somewhere.
This is Finn's room. You can't see it but there is a hallway IN HIS ROOM that leads to a bathroom. There are a few things in this house that are strangely designed, that hallway is one of them.
Zach's room. He has samari swords on his wall. #swagferdayz
In the other double room we've got the honerable Isaac Kool and Brandon Awesome.
This is the view from the front door. Stairs go up to the upstairs bedrooms, to the left is the living room and to the right is the dinning room.
The living room!
The dinning room! The table you see is one of two that I built for the house. Both tables are 4ft by 8ft to accomodate the nine people living here plus the endless stream of visitors that mooch off of us. In the two weeks we have been in this house, he have had only one dinner with just the nine of us. Today we had seven extra people over for dinner. Three are friends of Leo's, one is Raphy's girlfriend who is over most of the time, and the other three are a group of Australian travellers that are staying with us for three days while they figure out where they're going next.
This is our kitchen plus a breakfast table. Our kitchen is gigantic. Its awesome.
Im not sure what to call this room. Its like a chill video gaming spot with a comfy couch. Also to the left is our second fridge because there is no way all of our food could possibly fit in one fridge.
This is our awesome garage! On the left at the top is all our bikes, they hang from the ceiling and are easily taken down with the ladder. Its awesome because they are out of the way but easily accessible at any time. In the middle there is a circle of couches and bean bags where people can get together and smoke hookah. There is also a hanging hammock seat type of thing in the circle of seats. To the left is our squat cage and bench press courtesy of summer camp! I also found four mirrored sliding doors for two of the bedroom closets and put them up in front of the workout equipment. It has basically everything I ever use at a gym. I basically have a gym in my garage. ALSO! There are official gymnastics rings that are attached to the ceiling which we work out on!! They are up in the photo and you can't see them but they hang directly in front of the workout equipment.
This is Leo's room. It has the smallest floor area out of all the rooms, but the tallest ceiling in the house. It was quickly decided that a loft bed was a definite necessity, so I made him one! His room has three stories, the first is the bed, the next is his study area, and the lowest level is a crawl space which is accessed through a trap door in the floor. This room went from being unwanted by everyone, to one of the more awesome rooms in the house.
Raphy's room is very orange, as you can see. He recently traded a bed frame for his textbooks so that he wouldn't have to sleep with his matress on the floor. Trouble is that the bedframe didn't come with cross sections to lay down so that your matress would be elevated. He is still sleeping on a matress on the floor except now a bedframe runs around the perimeter of his matress. I'm not sure what he is doing with his life.
A big thanks to the Fairmont Hot Springs ski hill for donating this wonderfull chairlift sign to our lovely home! We hung it in front of the main bathroom that visitors use.
Zach mentioned a few days ago how he came to the realization that we live in the best possible situation that students could possibly live in. The only way it could be better is if we lived in a tropical location or a 5 minute walk away from the beach. I strongly agree with what he said, this place
is awesome. I am thankful that I made the decision to live here and I see myself staying here for the next few years to come.
