Tiny Abode

LIFE UPDATE

The House on Yachting Road (Moment of Silence, please...) sold in about 4 weeks as For Sale By Owner. It was during the chaos of Christmas that the buyers started to look at it. We've already established that it was like God dropped an anvil on our heads as a big ol' sign. They closed on the house at the end of January. 

From there, Charles & Michele moved into a 698 sq. ft. apartment. They're now neighbors of Kent and Kaitlin (about a 3 minute drive) Their rent is c-h-e-a-p. The kind of rent that poor college kids would drool over. We'll just say that it's less than $501 dollars. 

There's no dishwasher.
There's no ice maker. 

Jokes! (Sorta) Here are some pictures when they were first moving in. This is the kitchen, dining room and laundry room. 
Also the kitchen
Bathroom 
They rigged a mirror for the bathroom eventually
Living Room
Their bedroom. That's pretty much the width of it. There's a 2ft space around the bed to walk around. 
They debated between different places to rent, but there were 2 things that finally sold them on this place... 

The first thing was the Intercom system, that no longer works, from the 70's. It gives it the antique feel that Ma loves. Yes, the 70's is considered antique now.
And the #1 thing was.....bada bing bada boom....the built in fish tank!!! When they saw this they said, "Stick a fork in us. The search is over." 

*This fish tank is no longer able to carry fish. 
Their first visitor! 
Our two wild love birds... following Jesus & learning how to squeeze 10 lbs of sugar in a 5 lb bag (The answer is storage units. Or, as Robin likes to call them, sheds).
