apartment

[rm]

As summarized to my roommate, more or less:

Good news:
the work is beautiful
the track lighting is funny
the place has even more natural light that I remember
there's a perfect nook for the cat box
it's not a stall shower, but a small tub.
the smoke alarm/carbon monoixde thing is fine.
I like the neighborhood much more than I thought I did.

Bad news:
- we need security gates on two windows
- the building doesn't have a buzzer system yet
- it was much smaller than I remembered it, although empty apartments always look that way to me, and of course we saw it without the addition of kitchen cabinets. I think we're good, but we really will need a cleaning person to come in and as much as we can get rid of before the move is a good thing.
- Hey, we don't have a refrigerator yet. They know this, it'll be there before we move in. Based on the problem they're having laying out the kitchen (someone mismeasured something) it looks like it will be unavoidably smaller than teh current fridge. This is fine, we'll be less filthy. it better not be one of those half-heigh jobbies though.


I'm feeling more than a bit stressed. Someone tell me it's fine and beautiful?

This is actually one of my criteria when looking at houses. if after walking through a place I can't figure out within about a minute at least one good option for a cat box location (especially where kids can be kept out of it these days), I'm really not interested in the place. This is one of the reasons we *must* be out of this condo before the unborn-one begins to move about on her own.
